Abstract Late Pleistocene Clovis fluted points and stone flake tools have been found in
association with bison at several archaeological sites in western North America. To gain …

ABSTRACT In Late Pleistocene North America colonizing hunter-gatherers knapped and

From its initial appearance at∼ 1.7 Ma, the Acheulean was prevalent through a vast
chronological span of hominin behavioural evolution that lasted nearly 1.5 million years. The …

Over the past century, researchers have found variation in fluted-point shape and size to be
patterned in the Americas. Many of these patterns can be organized by geographical …

Landmark-based geometric morphometrics (LGM) is most often used in archaeology to
characterize and differentiate groups of artifacts, but it can be used for much more. We …
