Late Pleistocene Clovis fluted points and stone flake tools have been found in association with bison at several archaeological sites western North America. To gain insight into how these may functioned butchery, as well to assess the assumptions or interpretations of implements by archaeologists, we conducted a bison-processing experiment. We examined relative efficacy butchering process hafted versus handheld flakes different point forms; types tool breakage that might occur during...
Stone weapon tips can exhibit microscopic linear impact traces (MLITs), as a result of the tip impacting abrasive materials, including stone fragments from itself that detached upon impact. Experiments have demonstrated MLITs form via use variety systems, point types, and targets. found on North American Late Pleistocene Clovis points in association with proboscideans at Colby Lange/Ferguson sites are seen evidence those points' having been used to hunt strike animals. However, there is...
Experimental archaeology continues to mature methodologically and theoretically. Around the world, practitioners are increasingly using modern materials that would have been unavailable prehistoric people in archaeological experiments. The use of a material substitute can offer several benefits experimental method, design, control, replicability, feasibility, cost, but it should be directly compared its “traditional” analogue understand similarities differences. Here, aluminum is introduced...
