"A unique, significant contribution to our maturing studies of
the Clovis era."--Gary Haynes, author of The Early Settlement of
North America: The Clovis Era
The Paleoindian Clovis culture is known for distinctive stone
and bone tools often associated with mammoth and bison remains,
dating back some 13,500 years. While the term Clovis is known to
every archaeology student, few books have detailed the specifics of
Clovis archaeology. This collection of essays investigates caches
of Clovis tools, many of which have only recently come to light.
These caches are time capsules that allow archaeologists to examine
Clovis tools at earlier stages of manufacture than the broken and
discarded artifacts typically recovered from other sites. The
studies comprising this volume treat methodological and theoretical
issues including the recognition of Clovis caches, Clovis lithic
technology, mobility, and land use.
