In this volume, Odell presents a detailed comparative analysis of
standardized lithic data from 10 Illinois Valley components
spanning 7500 years from the Early Archaic through the
Mississippian perhaps the first time that such a comprehensive set
of lithic variables has been analyzed for the entire Holocene of a
region. A major part of this study constitutes the most extensive
application of low-power lithic use-wear analysis to be found in
the literature, accompanied by full discussion of the technique and
a suite of new experimental data. The results provide significant
information on prehistoric mobility and technological organization
in mid-continental North America, revealing clearly for the first
time a number of significant behavioral trends: e.g., an increase
in the hafting of tools, economizing behavior in chert-poor areas,
apparent change in projectile technology, changes in tool use
intensity, and symboling behavior. These trends are supported by a
massive set of easily accessible tables of data located in the
appendix."
