  Hockett et al. 's (2014) comment argues two points: (1) the Nicholarsen Cache does not contain both dart and arrow points;, and (2) the “early“ Elko points in our sample are Large Side-notched points. We appreciate their reanalysis of the Nicholarsen Cache points using a different approach, which leads them to the same conclusion made in our original article. Whereas we concede that one of the Elko points is difficult to classify and could be vie…

  Typological cross-dating is the primary means by which archaeological sites are placed into chronological frameworks. This approach relies on the assumption that artifacts at undated sites-usually projectile points-are coeval with similar artifacts found at Other, dated sites. While typological cross-dating is necessary in regions dominated by open-air lithic scatters, the approach can be problematic when undated and dated sites are separated by …

• Experiments in the function and performance of the weighted atlatl

  The atlatl (or spearthrower) has been used on one continent or another for at least 13,000 years, making it one of the most pervasive weapons in human history. Yet, anthropologists disagree onhow to wield an atlatl, and about the purpose of stone weights often attached to prehistoric examples of this weapon in North America. This paper briefly reviews the contributions and oversights of previous experiments and models on the function of atlatls a…

• Morphological Projectile Point Typology

  Morphological typologies of projectile points in North America have often been employed as time-sensitive prehistoric cultural markers. This article demonstrates that the contingencies of point manufacture, hafting, use, and rejuvenation create morphological changes that may render questionable use of these morphological typologies as prehistoric cultural markers. Thirty projectile points were replicated according to the attributes of a commonly …

• Evaluating the Occupational History of Lithic Scatters

  Open Access•Anan Raymond, Anan W Raymond•ARTICLE•North American Archaeologist•1985•Referências: 2

  Surface lithic scatters often pose problems for archaeological interpretation because temporally different occupations cannot be distinguished stratigraphically. When composed primarily of obsidian, however, the occupational history of a lithic scatter can be assessed upon analysis of its hydration measurements. A sample of hydration measurements drawn from the scatter are visually displayed using box and whisker plots, and analyzed using two inf…
