Recovering Lost Information From Avocational Projectile Point Collections
… classification approach identified 606 typeable points in the avocational collection, in addition to other morphological traits. Systematic typological schemes used throughout the Great Basin identified 15 different projectile point types, with the densest concentration consisting of Elko Eared …

A 3-Dimensional Approach to Projectile Point Classification
… to create a simple and reliable technique of projectile point classification. It is also the author’s goal to use a classification system that monitors cultural transmission over time. This objective is addressed with an Archaic projectile point sequence from the Albertson site in Ozark region …

Alternative perspectives of projectile point variability during the Levantine Neolithic
… B community in southern Jordan, has an abundant projectile point assemblage that facilitates a thorough characterization and detailed techno-typological analysis of the projectile points recovered. It is concluded that current typologies tend to mask significant morphological aspects of the …

Terminal transitions : an analysis of projectile points from the terminal middle period on the northern plains
… B.P. to 1500 B.P.) contain a number of diverse projectile point styles belonging to several cultural complexes. The cultural complexes studied here include: Pelican Lake, Besant, Outlook, Bracken, Sonota and Sandy Creek. The point styles associated with these complexes have been in the past …

The Norby site : a mummy cave complex bison kill on the northern plains
… analysis of lithic materials indicates that two projectile point styles are present at the Norby site. The first are side-notched projectile points typical of this time period and the second is a stemmed projectile point, termed a "Manitoba" point. Some "Manitoba" projectile points, discovered in …

Besant revisted : the Fincastle site (DIOx-5) and archaeological cultures on the northwestern plains, 2500 B.P.-1250 B.P.
An assemblage of distinctive projectile points from the Fincastle site (DlOx-5), Alberta at c. 2500 B.P. instigated an analysis of archaeological cultures on the Northern Plains during the late Middle Prehistoric Period. Archaeological sites included in this study are from the Pelican Lake Phase, …

Organization of Technology at the Sanders Site (45KT315): Analysis of Formed Tools from the Yakima Uplands, WA
… hunting and plant gathering. Identification of projectile point morphologies support temporal assignments for each component, and reflect shifts from dart to bow hunting. Analysis of all the bifacial formed tools (raw material, use wear, and breakage patterns) demonstrate changes in …

Fine screen faunal analysis from the Hartley Site (FaNp-19)
… interesting to note: that there was also a mini projectile point recovered in the fine screen material made of Swan River chert. Previous conclusions from Grant Clarke's (1995) thesis regarding what species were consumed were confirmed. The recovery of specimens from animals that hibernate in the …

A Zooarchaeological Analysis of Hole-in-the-Wall Canyon (45KT12) and French Rapids (45KT13) Sites: Ginkgo State Park, Washington
… Work focused on compiling site records, projectile point analysis, and radiocarbon dating in order to study site chronology, as well as the faunal analysis itself. Site 45KT12 includes at least two occupations; one occurring around 2000 cal B.P., and one beginning around 1100 cal B.P. and …

Technological Systems of Small Point Weaponry of the Postclassic Lowland Maya (A.D. 1400 - 1697)
This study examines small projectile point technology of the Postclassic Lowland Maya (A.D. 1400 - 1697) using a technological systems framework, to evaluate production strategies and the movement of finished goods within Mesoamerican exchange networks. Small arrow points (1 - 3 cm long) were …

An Experimental Program to Evaluate Proposed Functions of Crescents from the Western United States
… crescents to cut leather, scrape willow, and tip projectiles thrown at targets. I then applied models from human behavioral ecology to evaluate the efficiency of crescents for each task. Additionally, I analyzed the breaks that accrued from use on the replicated crescents and compared them to …

The shape of diversity: a morphometric analysis of late archaic bifaces from Lamoka Lake
<p>The general assumption of Late Archaic peoples in the Northeast is that they were one homogeneous culture group, but through the study of Lamoka Lake bifaces found at the Lamoka Lake Site, as well as applying the concepts of community of practice, I have shown that tool shape variation could …
