265 the California Fluted Lanceolate Uniform Testing and Evaluation PA P ERS ON OV ER V IEWS , METHODS , AND POLI C IES 265 FLUTED PO I NT S O F T H E FA R WE S T MI C HAEL F. RONDEAU The study of fluted points in the Far West has been discouraged by the lack of sites with primary context, associated Pleistocene fauna, and radiocarbon dating. This lack has diminished the need to stay abreast of current Paleoamerican research in North America. The recognition of non-Clovis fluted point types in the Far West, including California, has lagged behind other regions in North America. The fluted points of the Far West are unstudied and represent an untapped research potential. The findings of the CalFLUTED research project are presented herein. Because this is a report of ongoing studies, the findings and conclusions presented below may be amended and refined in the future. INTRODU C TION Points with One Fluted Face he California Fluted Lanceolate Uniform Testing The extant literature has occasionally provided Tand Evaluation Database (CalFLUTED) project assertions that points fluted on only one face should be began with the asking of a single question: what is a fluted rejected as true fluted points. However, justifications for point? This question grew out of a diverse and seemingly these assertions have been poorly supported, at best. This incompatible array of projectile points presented to the research effort has indicated that while some points could author over several decades, all of which were designated as not be fluted on both faces, they usually fell into a larger fluted points. In the attempt to answer this question, a number category of specimens that did not need to be fluted on both of additional issues has arisen, significant among them the faces for end-thinning purposes. In other cases, use damage question: what is a flute? and subsequent repairs have nearly obliterated flute evidence. This suggests that such circumstances may have also left The pursuit of answers has resulted in more than 40 some points, originally fluted on both faces, showing only a studies (including those in progress) and have involved single flute, or none, at time of discard. more than 400 projectile points (including non-relevant and unreported specimens) and related bifaces, mainly from End-thinning as the Basic Issue California, Nevada, and Oregon (Table 1). Critical support for these studies has included consultations with researchers Attempts to make fluting something special beyond and experts within and outside California, lengthy literature its temporal placement or its technical nature, such as with reviews on past and present fluted point studies, as well as unsubstantiated blood groove claims, have only served to the perusal of a large number of additional fluted projectile obfuscate the evidence. The evidence found by this research points mainly from outside the Far West. argues that technological fluting was only one within a set of basal thinning techniques that also included pressure end The project has confronted a number of issues: thinning, sometimes before and/or after the actual flutes were definitions of fluted points and flutes, variability in fluted created. points of the Far West, the transition from fluted to end- thinned points, determining what projectile point attributes, The data indicate the presence of both pressure and if any, are distinctive to the Far West, identifying what percussion scars (Figure 1) to guide subsequent fluting attributes may signal post-Clovis style fluted points, and attempts and, at the least, subsequent pressure removal of the evaluating the claim for hundreds of Clovis points from the flute scar margin ridges (Figure 2) to further end-thin some Tulare Lake locality. These findings are the subject of the fluted points (Rondeau 2006f). In addition, there are fluted discussions presented here. points that also exhibit pressure end-thinning (Rondeau 2005e, 2006g; Rondeau and Coffman 2007). There is no WHAT IS A F LUTED POINT ? evidence to support the idea that technological fluting was independent of a range of pressure end-thinning techniques. To say a point is fluted, it must have evidence of at least In some cases pressure may have been used in the fluting one flute. This does not escape the question of defining what process itself (Rondeau 2005e; Wilkie et al. 1991). is a flute. Further, having defined what a flute is, the issue then becomes, what constitutes acceptable evidence that one or more flutes do or did exist on any given point? Michael F.

  • The Little Clovis Point That Wasn't
    The Little Clovis Point that Wasn’t Leo Pettipas Manitoba Archaeological Society The projectile point illustrated in Figure 1 was surface-found at FaMi-10 in the Upper Swan River valley of Manitoba (Fig. 2) in the 1960s. It is made of Swan River Chert, is edge-ground, triangular in outline, and seems to be “fluted” on one face. To all appearances it looks like an Early Indigenous (“Palaeo-Indian”) Clovis point, except for one thing – it’s very small: it’s less than 4.0 cm long, whereas “full-grown” Clovis points when newly made can reach as much as 10.0 cm in length. Archaeologist Eugene Gryba has cautiously classified it as a McKean point, and in size and shape it is indeed McKean- like. However, the bilateral grinding it displays isn’t a standard McKean trait, so I have chosen to orient this presentation around the Clovis point type. Fig. 1. (left)The miniscule point from FaMi-10. Drawing by the present writer. Fig. 2. (Right) Location of the Swan River valley in regional context (Manitoba Department of Agriculture). Actually, bona fide diminutive Clovis points are not unprecedented; several good examples (Fig. 3) were archaeologically excavated in company with typical Clovis points at the Lehner Mammoth site in Arizona. The centre specimen in Figure 3 is 3.6 cm long, slightly less than the corresponding measurement taken from the Swan River artefact. So 1 | P a g e The Little Clovis Point that Wasn’t Leo Pettipas while miniature Clovis points are rare, they’re not unheard of and so the occurrence of one from the Second Prairie Level of Manitoba shouldn’t be problematic at first blush.

Based on earlier studies, they thought their dig might yield evidence of prehistoric peoples. Decades before the Capital Beltway was built, the site was a bluff overlooking Hunting Creek. The area would have been an ideal location for Indians to manufacture and re-shape stone tools for hunting and fishing. This past summer Alexandria archaeologists at the site discovered a significant number of flakes, the slivers of rock left behind as stones are chipped and fashioned into projectile points, scrapers and other tools. They also recovered points representing multiple distinct periods of use, from Middle Woodland around 1,200 years ago to Late Archaic around 4,000 years ago to Paleoindian around 13,000 years ago. Variations in the points, such as fluted stems and notched corners, indicate how they were attached to the handles of spears and knives. Serrated edges also reflect changes in lithic technology, or stone tool manufacturing. Among those recovered at Freedmen’s Cemetery are (clockwise from bottom left) a quartzite Potts point ca.

The contents and opinions, however, do not necessarily reflect the view or policies of the United States Department of the Interior or the Kansas State Historical Society. The Kansas Preservation Plan is a technical document that was developed for the Historic Preservation Department of the Kansas State Historical Society that is designed to provide the background for making informed decisions in preserving the state's heritage. The size and technical nature of the plan make it inaccessible to many who have interests or responsibilities in Kansas archeology. Thus, the following synopsis of the archeology sections of the Kansas Preservation Plan is designed as a non-technical, abbreviated introduction to Kansas archeology. William B. Lees and John D. Reynolds wrote the original version of this document in 1989. These two men were employed by the Kansas State Historical Society, respectively, as Historic Archeologist and Assistant State Archeologist. Bill Lees moved on to work in Oklahoma and Kentucky.
