A glass, since it never crystallizes to form a solid, never changes phase and never has to lose heat of crystallization. Obsidian, supercooled below the crystallization point, remained a liquid. Glasses form when some physical property of a lava restricts ion mobility enough to prevent them from binding together into an ordered crystalline pattern. Aa the viscosity ofthe lava increases, fewer particles arrive at positions of order until no particle arrangement occurs before solidification. In a glaas, the ions must remain randomly arranged; therefore, a magma forming a glass must be extremely viscous yet fluid enough to reach the surface. 1he modem rational explanation for obsidian petrogenesis (Bakken, 1977:88) Some people called a time at the flat named Tok'. They were going to hunt deer. They set snares on the runway at Blood Gap. Adder bad real obsidian. The others made their arrows out of just anything. They did not know about obsidian. When deer were caught in snares, Adder shot and ran as fast as he could to the deer, pulled out the obsidian and hid it in his quiver.

We’ll never know what purpose the Clovis knapper had in mind for this magnificent preform when he buried it in Colorado 13,000 years ago. He may have cached it at a location his party routinely visited on hunting trips as a ready supply of toolstone for refurbishing their toolkits. Or it may have been simply too wonderful to use, and so he buried it as a ceremonial offering. Whatever his motive, he buried it so that no one could find it. And no one did, until J.

His conclusion that the Borax Lake site dated from 10,000 to 15,000 years ago challenged previous beliefs that man did not reach the Pacific Coast until much later, and stirred a great controversy in the archaeological community. Harrington's conclusions were challenged on a number of levels. First, major geologic events have disrupted the stratigraphy of the cultural remains. At the time Harrington published the Borax Lake findings, archaeologists relied heavily on stratigraphy as a relative dating technique. Archaeologists in the United States first adapted this technique from the science of geology, applying it to the field of archaeology in the Southwest in the early 1900's. The basic assumption in stratigraphic analysis is that the latest material deposited on the site is on the surface, and that deeper layers were formed in earlier times.

To JAMES ALFRED FORD Preface In the summer of 1952, as a result of numerous discussions, we de- cided to set down our thoughts on certain methodological and the- oretical questions in American archaeology. The original plan was an article in two parts : the first, a statement of what we believed to be the minimal aims of archaeology and the basic operations di- rected toward the achievement of these aims, and the second, some theoretical formulations about New World prehistory. The first part was subsequently published under the title "Method and Theory in American Archaeology: An Operational Basis for Cul- ture-Historical Integration." 1 The second part followed a year and a half later as "Method and Theory in American Archaeology II: Historical-Developmental Interpretation." 2 The comments and criticism which these papers drew from colleagues and students have kept us interested in the subject, and, as a result, we have re- written both original papers and combined them, along with an introduction, originally published as a brief journal article, 3 in the present volume.
