A Darwinian macro-evolutionary perspective on the development of hunter-gatherer systems in Northwestern North America
The archaeological record of western North American hunter-gatherers is characterized by long periods of socio-economic homogeneity interrupted by short bursts of variation. This pattern of punctuated equilibrium is best understood using a macro-evolutionary model like that employed in paleontology. We offer such a Darwinian framework, focusing on methods for recognizing distinct socioeconomic systems archaeologically and addressing processes tha…
Calibrated Radiocarbon Dating at Keatley Creek
This paper provides an analysis of radiocarbon dates acquired during earlier and recent field seasons at the Keatley Creek site, southern British Columbia. Results indicate that early occupations predating 1900 cal. B.P. occurred, but were not likely associated with population aggregation and large housepits. The aggregated village appears to have emerged by approximately 1700 cal. B.P. and was abandoned at approximately 800 cal. B.P. A break in …
Cultural Diversification and Decimation in the Prehistoric Record
The history of human cultures is frequently marked by a distinctive pattern of evolution that paleobiologists term diversification and decimation. Under this process, fundamentally new socioeconomic systems appear during periods of dramatic cultural diversification, typically through cultural cladogenesis. Significant diversification episodes come about under conditions that favor group economic success under effective or geographic isolation. Ty…
The Reliability and Validity of a Lithic Debitage Typology
Sullivan and Rozen's (1985) debitage typology has been proposed as a method for measuring the effects of variation in lithic reduction by describing 'distinctive assemblages.' This is in contrast to many traditional analytical methods oriented toward identifying the effects of lithic reduction techniques on individual flakes. Debate over the use of the typology has focused primarily on the ability of the typology to accurately measure variation i…
