Archaeology of the Bobtail Wolf Site

Excavations recovered one of the largest assemblages of artifacts known for a Folsom site. Individual contributors present their analyses of the stratigraphy, stone tools and debitage, faunal remains, and the spatial patterning of artifacts recovered at the site. The study provides important new data on the patterns of early Paleoindian tool-stone procurement, tool manufacture, and group mobility on the Great Plains at the end of the Pleistocene epoch.For a companion study, see Jerry D.
