From the windows to the walls
The use of window glass fragments as time diagnostic artifacts is an atypical, but well-established technique in historical archaeology—founded on the universal increase in window glass thickness through the 18th and 19th centuries. For sites with an abundance of architectural artifacts and a paucity of other time diagnostics or historic documentation, it may be the only means of ascertaining a construction date for a structure. However, when con…
Gifts from an Archaeologist's Bookcase
Upon the death of John L. Cotter (1911-1999), renowned archaeologist, University of Pennsylvania, a portion of his library passed to the Clovis Archives. The ca. 3,500 holdings include books, monographs, abundant journals, and letter correspondence. The tomes are peppered by marginalia and book-marked notes, thus preserving insights into the scholar's mind over a 65-year career in both prehistoric and historical archaeology. Due to the collection…
A Cumberland Preform
Use of isolated striking platforms in biface manufacture—one hallmark of Paleoindian technology—appears in Clovis (11,500-10,900 B.P.) and Folsom (10,900-10,200 B.P.) fluting and in Agate Basin (10,500-10,200 B.P.) preform lateral thinning. We document a new observation: Cumberland or Southeastern Clovis (10,800-10,500 B.P.) artisans used isolated striking platforms for both. We also note that Cumberland points exhibit Folsom-type fluting and Aga…
