Tiny Perforations in Minute Beads from the Prehistoric Southwest: An Experimental Case for Lithic Minute Microdrills
Minute disc beads from the prehistoric American Southwest often exhibit perforations finer than 0.75 mm in diameter. Early archaeologists postulated that these tiny perforations were created with organic drills made from bone splinters or cactus needles. This article presents an experimental case for flaked-stone minute microdrills, which are refined replicas of more robust documented jewelry microdrills. With experimental lithic minute microdril…
Reevaluating the Prehistoric Southwestern Disc Bead Industry
In the American Southwest, prehistoric artisans manufactured large quantities of high-quality disc beads. The sophisticated disc bead industry that developed between 300 BC and AD 1450 compelled early archaeologists to question the labor costs required to produce the over 1,000,000 disc beads documented in the southwestern archaeological record. This paper attempts to reevaluate prevalent hypotheses surrounding prehistoric disc bead technology an…
