Variability in the Debitage of the Early Holocene Lithic Assemblages of the Sanders (45KT315) Site
… were identified by measuring variability in the debitage using mutually exclusive paradigmatic classifications. The classifications measure technological, functional, and raw tool stone material property dimensions. This thesis identifies the extent that debitage could be used to address …

Spatial Distribution Of Debitage At A Chert Procurement Site And A Cultural History Assessment On Orange Lake In North Central Florida
… zone was identified a study examining debitage size grade drop-off trends was conducted in an effort to separate quarrying and non-quarrying activity areas. The field work was conducted by excavating shovel test units 50 by 50 centimeters square and one meter deep. These were completed …

Settlement, Mobility, and the Organization of Technology at the Clark Lake Site (22SH535): A Small-Scale Woodland Settlement
… conducted on lithic technology, particularly debitage from small sites. The Clark Lake site in the Lower Yazoo Basin is a small-scale settlement with components dating from the Tchula Phase to the Lake George I phase (circa 500 B.C. - 1500 A.D.). This thesis focuses on the lithic assemblage …

Monhantic Fort Gunflints: Continuity or Change in Mashantucket Pequot Lithic Manufacturing Patterns Due to European Contact
… Pequot to produce gunflints an analysis of the debitage assemblage was completed. Additionally, experimental production and use of gunflints was undertaken and an analysis of that debitage assemblage was completed and used for comparison. Also, analysis of the lithic tools and debitage from a …

Burnt Rock Mound (26Ck3601): Late Archaic and Ceramic period human use of a northern Mojave spring mound
… and Patayan peoples. Artifacts, especially micro-debitage, recovered from Late Holocene mound deposits suggest long-term use of this vital resource by Late Archaic and Ceramic peoples.

Differential use of space: An analysis of the Aubrey Clovis site.
… and contains two camps with a range of lithic debitage, numerous hearths, and excellent faunal preservation. Couched in rules of classification, a series of artifact distributions are analyzed with qualitative and quantitative techniques, including maps produced in a geographic information …

Influence of Flake Morphology on Fluvial Transportation and Site Formation Interpretation
… where flowing water can potentially alter debitage assemblages. Previous researchers have studied the relationship between flake morphology and flowing water. However, these studies often focus on the weight and size of completed tools or bones. I designed and created an experiment to test …

Lithic analysis of three Lowland Virgin Anasazi sites
Lithic analysis, including an intensive debitage analysis, provides answers to previously posed research questions for the Bovine Bluff (early-Pueblo II), Main Ridge (mid-Pueblo II), and Adam 2 (late-Pueblo II) sites in the Moapa Valley. At Bovine Bluff, an aceramic area appears to be the result of …

An investigation of temporal change in lithic technology at Grassridge Rockshelter, Eastern Cape South Africa
… platform angle, platform thickness, early/late debitage exploitation, length over width ratio, profile, and width over thickness ratio. The frequencies of each tool trait are arranged into Tostevin's (2012) methodology system of knapping behaviours to consider various explanations – …

Rediscovering an Upland Site: The Manastash Pines (45KT346) Kittitas County, Washington
… points, 45 bifaces, and over 10,000 pieces of debitage. Chipped stone artifacts were primarily cherts, but six were obsidian. Four XRF obsidian samples were sourced to Oregon. Projectile points show use over the last 8,000 years from the Vantage phase through the Cayuse phase. This project …

A Techno-Functional Analysis of Early Archaic Lithic Production Debris: Assessing Technological Practice and Settlement in the Middle Savannah River Valley of South Carolina
… River Valley using 17 Early Archaic lithic debitage assemblages. Because understandings Early Archaic settlement are based largely on finished and formal tool types, the use of the debris from tool manufacture is useful. This study highlights broad differences in terms of tool production …

Determination of Site Functionality and Subsistence Patterns at the Bray Archaeological Site (45PI1276) in Edgewood, Washington
… (FMR), macrobotanical, lithic tools, and lithic debitage. The Bray Site results are compared to evidence for plant resource intensification from sites in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon and the Calispell Valley of northeastern Washington. These comparisons show that Bray Site assemblage …

The Organization of Technology in the Pine Hills of Mississippi
… project focused on the statistical analysis of debitage created during the experimental replication of stone tools using local chert cobbles. Special attention was given to attributes of flake debris in relation to the tool production continuum. The results of this analysis indicate that a suite …

Subsistence, Technology, and Site Use Through Time at 41HY160, the Tee Box Six Locale
… 500 stone tools, 35,000 pieces of lithic debitage and an abundance of faunal remains. Prior to this Thesis, no analysis of this material had been attempted and the only published material on this site is a short article in La Tierra and a report synthesis was needed for these early …

Umm Meshrat I and II : two Late Neolithic sites along the Wadi ath-Thamad, Jordan
… points, burins, drill bits on spalls, and debitage classes dominated by flakes. The pottery assemblages show similarities with both the Jericho IX and Yarmoukian traditions of the Late Neolithic period. Several decoration styles were identified in the collections from Umm Meshrat I and II …

WHY THE XWISTEN CROSSED THE RIVER: LITHIC TRANSPORT STRATEGIES ON THE CANADIAN PLATEAU
… My sample consists of those tools, cores, and debitage (detritus from stone tool production and maintenance) recovered from housepits 20, 24, and 54. The lithic assemblages recovered from these houses provide a glimpse into lithic transport over the Bridge River 2 and 3 time periods, which span …

Lithic Technological and Functional Variability between Mesa and Riverine Environments in the Mid-Columbia River Basin
… and functional traits of lithic stone tools and debitage vary. Features of the three above mentioned Mesa site are discussed and detailed in Smith (1977:68-74) and not included in this study. Results are evaluated based on stone tool expectations derived from Plateau pre-contact land use models. …
