a Reexamination of Spring Deposited Lithics from Blackwater Draw Locality N0.1 |
| |
Abstract: | AbstractArchaeological’ excavations at Blackwater Draw Locality No. 1 from 1962 to 1964 uncovered a number of spring conduits. Several of these contained very high concentrations of Paleo-Indian lithic materials, which exhibited a high polish on their surfaces. Investigations of this phenomenon (Haynes and Agogino 1966) have suggested thatthe distributions and concentration of lithics within spring conduits. are the result of intentional discard (possibly through ritual activity) by Paleo-Indians. |
