Book Description
This book is a full-color study of over 500 pre-Clovis stone artifacts of Virginia. With the 22K-year date of the Cinmar bipoint in Virginia, there is ample evidence of artifact classes that are older than Clovis. Over 50 tool types are illustrated and discussed. Artifact single-site collections are documented. The book argues the differences between Holocene biface technology with the blade and core technology of the Pleistocene era. The requirements for identifying Pleistocene artifacts is presented, such as platforms, remaining cortex, and invasive retouch. They are presented in a tool model. Major stones, namely jasper, are discussed as a lithic determinism. The east coast distribution is presented for various tool types. Additionally, as a major focus, cross-Atlantic flake/blade identical tools from Europe are illustrated with Middle Atlantic artifacts. Artifact ergonomics, such as right-left handed tools, hypothetical tool center, are argued. Structural and functional axis are shown and described on how to identify them on tools. Overall, this book presents an initiating view of the archaeology needed to study Pleistocene era artifacts on the American east coast.

The Higgins Site, Clarke County, Virginia ? a View of a PaleoAmerican Site in Vi

Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
This full-color publication is a report on the PaleoAmerican Pleistocene site in Clarke County, Virginia. The site was a jasper and chalcedony occupation on a west terrace of the Shenandoah River. Report provides analytical data and photographs of nearly 80 artifacts recovered from the site. These artifacts were surface finds by the landowner. This study contains comparative artifacts from the eastern U.S. as well as from Europe. The basic premise is the site's ancestry is the Old World. While the site will be preserved for the future, four test pits were dug in cardinal directions. The site is a camp site for hunting and gatherering as little manufacturing evidence was found. The site has no date other than being in the Pleistocene era of the valley.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
This 300-page site report presents extensive surface-collected artifacts, site testing, and limited excavations on the Arkfeld site in Virginia which offers an insight to the Pleistocene occupation in Virginia and the U.S. The report illustrates and discusses main site areas all of which is called Arkfeld paleosite in Frederick and Clarke Counties, Virginia. It is essentially a quarry tool production area which produced a distinctive toolset. While stone quarrying is the basic focus, clay mining, bitumen coating, and stone figurine production are also the result of the site's investigation and study. The site represents the first known site in the Western Hemisphere of Pleistocene era that has firing of clay. The site's artifacts and processes indicate an Old World legacy from the Paleolithic era. The site has tools forms that are unreported in the eastern U.S. Numerous tool classes are legacy tools for Clovis. The book also discusses lanceolate points.
