This book offers a series of studies focused on the analysis of
stone tool technology of the Folsom Culture, bison-hunting
inhabitants of the North American prairie grasslands during the
terminal Pleistocene. Recent work on Folsom lithic assemblages has
revealed considerable complexity in the factors that generated
similarities and differences in Folsom chipped stone economy,
beyond simply the manufacturing sequence and technique of fluting
Folsom projectile points. The analyses presented here use
comparative methods to identify patterns of lithic assemblage
structure and variation that provide insights into the organization
of Folsom technology and lifeways, considering multiple aspects of
Folsom technology including: tool manufacture and reduction system
modeling, studies of raw material variation, use-wear,
technological variation in weaponry assemblages, and the
organization of technology. They thus contribute substantially to a
growing understanding of the patterns and processes in Folsom
technology and the causes of diversity within Folsom lithic
assemblages.
