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 …

Rediscovering an Upland Site: The Manastash Pines (45KT346) Kittitas County, Washington
… 24 pieces of ground stone, a stone bead, 14 projectile 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 …

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 …

The Mississippian Occupation of The Upper Kaskaskia Valley: Problems in Culture History and Economic Organization (Illinois, Ceramics)
… Lithic collections contained high frequencies of projectile points, end and side scrapers, core scrapers, triangular knives, and hump-backed knives. Characteristic Cahokia lithic artifacts, such as chipped stone hoes, microdrills, and notched projectile points, were rare or absent. Analysis of the …
