This book contains numerous methods and techniques for recording America's oldest projectile point. The Clovis point is the best known prehistoric point in American archaeology. This publication contains sections on Clovis distributions, identifying Clovis points, Clovis position in prehistory, recording Clovis, lithic materials, over one thousand Clovis point examples, and an extensive set of references. One major topic is identifying the "true" Clovis point. And this publication offers ways and means to record and study Paleo points, such as: Clovis discovery history, typing points, description, distribution, using nomenclature, attributes, traits, using standards, concepts, modeling Clovis data, recording policy, ethics, analytical methods, recording procedures, practices, and processes. The book is four hundred plus pages, black and white, eight and a half by eleven inch format, and has a soft cover. The author has over forty years in American prehistoric studies and is a charter member of the Registry of Professional Archaeologists.

This publication provides the basics for recording Clovis and other Paleoindian points in North America. It presents techniques, terminology, and nomenclatures that are used in analyses, procedures for recording, and methods for the entire recording process. The text starts with the basics of Clovis-point origins, identification, lithic analyses, curation practices, and other aspects of recording paleopoints.This publication is based on the author's experiences with the McCary Fluted Point Survey of Virginia. This Survey contains 1050 recorded Paleoindian points and presented the author with numerous problems and situations in obtaining and analyzing points for inclusion in the Survey's database. However, the advantages to archaeology far outweigh the problems. The Survey's database and point illustrations have contributed to countless research projects, dissertations, and general public displays and presentations. As a companion book, the entire McCary Fluted Point book is also available from the same publisher. Topics: Clovis records, Clovis point analyzing and classification, defining Clovis, chronology, distributions, Clovis culture, measurements, styles and variations, fluting types, stone materials, creating databases, point labeling, recording apparatus, pre-Clovis examples, Clovis climates, flaking attributes, Clovis comet, Cactus Hill and before Clovis, South American influences, true Clovis, mammoth extinctions, Big Games tradition, position in prehistory, fluted point survey methods, point verification methods, paleo-environments, research methods and equipment, collectability, curation principles, and Clovis populations.

Prehistoric Projectile Points Found Along the Atlantic Coastal Plain

DOWNLOAD EBOOK

This publication was written to provide a source for archaeological projectile point typology for a region of the U.S. that over the years has been traditionally divided into: Northeast culture area Middle Atlantic culture area Southeastern culture area These divisions are based primarily on lithic technology and settlement patterns. While this focus tends to serve archaeological investigations, most of the prehistoric Indian habitation/occupation requires greater definition and appraisal from other sources within the archaeological community. Even among artifact collectors, there is a tendency to parcel these areas into the classic culture area concepts. This publication makes no attempts to refocus archaeology, but to show the vast overlaps of numerous point technologies. This is especially true over time; so that, for lithic point technology in general, there is a Panindian focus that can be applied to almost every tool type along the Atlantic Coast. This publication provides most of the published types from along the Atlantic seaboard. Each type has a basic description and the illustration is an ideal point for that type. A set of point references is provided; these make excellent (and needed) sources for the study of projectile point studies.

Noel Justice adds another regional guide to his series of important reference works that survey, describe, and categorize the projectile point and cutting tools used in prehistory by Native American peoples. This volume addresses the region of California and the Great Basin. Written for archaeologists and amateur collectors alike, the book describes over 50 types of stone arrowhead and spear points according to period, culture, and region. With the knowledge of someone trained to fashion projectile points with techniques used by the Indians, Justice describes how the points were made, used, and re-sharpened. His detailed drawings illustrate the way the Indians shaped their tools, what styles were peculiar to which regions, and how the various types can best be identified. There are hundreds of drawings, organized by type cluster and other identifying characteristics. The book also includes distribution maps and color plates that will further aid the researcher or collector in identifying specific periods, cultures, and projectile types.

Volume 1 contains artifact listings from A through L. Volume 2 contains the remainder of the alphabetical listings. These publications contain over 10,000 prehistoric artifacts mainly from Virginia, but the publication covers the eastern U. S. The set starts with Pre-Clovis and goes through Woodland times with some Indian ethnography and rockart. Each volume is indexed, contains references, has charts and graphs, drawings, photographs, artifact dates, and artifact descriptions. These volumes contain artifacts that have never appeared in the archaeological literature. From beginners to experienced archaeologists, they offer a complete library for the American Indian culture and experience. If the prehistoric Indian made it, an example is probably shown.
