Beskrivning
Eastern North America has one of the largest inventories of Paleoindian sites anywhere in the Americas. Despite this rich record of early human settlement during the late Pleistocene, there are few widely published reports or summaries of Paleoindian research in the region. The contributors to this volume present more than four decades of Early Paleoindian research in eastern North America, including previously unpublished site reports and updates on recent research. Their work helps create a more cohesive picture of the early human occupation of North America. This data-rich volume provides specific information on artifacts and basic site descriptions which will allow for more thorough comparisons of eastern fluted point sites. Divided into four sections— chronology and environment, reinvestigations of classic sites, new sites and perspectives, and synthesis and conclusions— the volume will encourage further consideration of the sites included and their role in shaping our understanding of huntergatherer lifeways during the late Pleistocene. In the Eastern Fluted Point Tradition is a must read for scholars of Paleoindian archaeology and those generally interested in the prehistory of North America.

Recensioner i media

“Over 40 years in the making, this hefty volume provides an invaluable compilation of data and interpretations. Older classic sites as well as more recent discoveries are brought together in a useful contemporary synthesis which brings eastern Paleoindian research into mainstream North American studies.”—Albert C. Goodyear, Institute of Archaeology & Anthropology, University of South Carolina “This book would have very little competition from existing works and be much in demand amongst the large potential readership that works in this field.”—Christopher J. Ellis, University of Western Ontario, London, Canada“This book significantly advances our understanding of human populations in the eastern North America during the late Pleistocene. Collectively, the site studies and synthetic chapters provide new insights on eastern Paleoindian adaptations to the changing environments these people encountered at the end of Ice Age. Such research offers a timely human perspective from the past as we contemplate abrupt climate change today.”—Jonathan Lothrop, Curator of Archaeology, New York State Museum“Provides a valuable compendium of Paleoindian sites and data, including several previously unreported or under-reported sites. This volume will serve as an important reference and data source, not just for Paleoindian researchers, but also for archaeologists with broader interests in North American prehistory.”—Canadian Journal of Archaeology
