The Organic Clovis: a Single Continent-Wide Cultural Adaptation THE ORGANIC CLOVIS: A SINGLE CONTINENT-WIDE CULTURAL ADAPTATION By CHRISTOPHER ANDREW HEMMINGS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2004 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A list of individuals who have made it possible to complete this document would be as large again as the bibliography. To all of my fellow archaeologists, anthropologists, bike racers, friends and family I extend my most heartfelt gratitude for engaging in or suffering through endless Clovis, Paleoindian, and “Do you know why this bone is important” discussions. It is quite humbling to realize how many people have buoyed my spirits, aided materially, and even provided shelter during this process. If this work has any merit, and I have become fit to create more, it is due in large part to the opportunity provided by those who helped me get this far. If I am able to create similar opportunity for others the opportunities provided for me shall not have been wasted. Beyond a shadow of a doubt S. David Webb stands alone as mentor, supporter, and friend. The debt of gratitude I owe William O. Gifford is as equally profound. Lacking the assistance of these two individuals, pursuit of the endless dissertation would have ended. Unable to articulate my thanks adequately I simply continue to forge ahead, as they have helped me do for so long. 11 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ii LIST OF TABLES v LIST OF FIGURES vii

Degree of Doctor of Philosophy THE ORGANIC CLOVIS: A SINGLE CONTINENT-WIDE CULTURAL ADAPTATION By Christopher Andrew Hemmings May 2004 Chair: Ken Sassaman Major Department: Anthropology The Clovis culture is a continent-wide phenomenon exhibiting a high degree of uniform behavior and patterned resource exploitation irrespective of localized environmental constraints that typically circumscribe historically known societies. A state of the art specialized technological adaptation facilitated a generalist subsistence adaptation that is without an analog in historically or ethnographically known cultures. The Clovis cultural adaptation was a direct response to unique environmental settings that existed during the Pleistocene. The Clovis culture does not represent a unique cultural manifestation any more than each culture is unique. Clovis appears fimdamentally different simply because we lack anything with which to effectively compare it. Data from 246 Early Paleoindian sites with preserved organic remains are assembled to document patterns in resource preferences and exploitation. Artifacts made from identifiable elements of extinct taxa are considered the most reliable indication of X direction action. In sum, 352 species of plants and animals have been recovered at Early Paleoindian sites across North America. One-hundred sixteen of those species have clear evidence of utilization by Early Paleoindians. This represents a tremendous jump in our understanding of Clovis diet breadth and resource selection patterns. Clovis people had a clear preference for mammoth and mastodon. That said, exploitation of now extinct megafauna was simply a portion of an effective generalist foraging adaptation that covered unglaciated North America. A large portion of the technological adaptation involved formal bone and ivory tools that are typically underreported or under-appreciated as part of the Clovis toolkit. Nearly 250 formal bone and ivory tools in 45 different forms are now documented across the continent.

  • 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.

Sánchez, Ph.D. John Howard White, Ph.D. Edited by Angélica Sánchez-Clark, Ph.D. With the assistance of Hector Contreras, David Gómez and Feliza Monta University of New Mexico Graduate Students Spanish Colonial Research Center A Partnership between the University of New Mexico and the National Park Service [Version Date: May 20, 2014] 1 Coronado National Memorial Coronado Expedition Research Topics 1) Research the lasting effects of the expedition in regard to exchanges of cultures, Native American and Spanish. Was the shaping of the American Southwest a direct result of the Coronado Expedition's meetings with natives? The answer to this question is embedded throughout the other topics. However, by 1575, the Spanish Crown declared that the conquest was over and the new policy of pacification would be in force. Still, the next phase that would shape the American Southwest involved settlement, missionization, and expansion for valuable resources such as iron, tin, copper, tar, salt, lumber, etc. Francisco Vázquez de Coronado’s expedition did set the Native American wariness toward the Spanish occupation of areas close to them. Rebellions were the corrective to their displeasure over colonial injustices and institutions as well as the mission system that threatened their beliefs and spiritualism. In the end, a kind of syncretism and symbiosis resulted. Today, given that the Spanish colonial system recognized that the Pueblos and mission Indians had a legal status, land grants issued during that period protects their lands against the new settlement pattern that followed: that of the Anglo-American.

Hamilton: Quantifying Clovis Dynamics ©2008, Marcus John Hamilton ii Marcus J. Hamilton: Quantifying Clovis Dynamics DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this dissertation to my wife, Ana Desiree Davidson, and the two halves of my family, the UK Hamilton side and the US Davidson side, for all their love and support. I would also like to dedicate this dissertation to two old friends who were instrumental in getting me interested in archaeology, Briggs Buchanan, and Wayne Warren Kinney, Jr. iii Marcus J. Hamilton: Quantifying Clovis Dynamics ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my committee for their advice and guidance over the years. They are co-chairs, Bruce Huckell and Jim Boone, 3rd department member Ozzie Pearson, and outside member Vance Holliday. Much of this dissertation would not have been possible without access to the Rio Grande Valley Clovis collections, granted by Dr. Robert H. Weber, of Socorro, New Mexico. Bob sadly died in February, 2008 after leading a long and productive life, very much in the tradition of classic Southwest scientists. Over his 80+ years Bob amassed an encyclopedic knowledge of the geology, geography, archaeology and history of the region, much of it on foot with a canteen and map.

  • Annotated Atlatl Bibliography John Whittaker Grinnell College Version June 20, 2012
    1 Annotated Atlatl Bibliography John Whittaker Grinnell College version June 20, 2012 Introduction I began accumulating this bibliography around 1996, making notes for my own uses. Since I have access to some obscure articles, I thought it might be useful to put this information where others can get at it. Comments in brackets [ ] are my own comments, opinions, and critiques, and not everyone will agree with them. The thoroughness of the annotation varies depending on when I read the piece and what my interests were at the time. The many articles from atlatl newsletters describing contests and scores are not included. I try to find news media mentions of atlatls, but many have little useful info. There are a few peripheral items, relating to topics like the dating of the introduction of the bow, archery, primitive hunting, projectile points, and skeletal anatomy. Through the kindness of Lorenz Bruchert and Bill Tate, in 2008 I inherited the articles accumulated for Bruchert’s extensive atlatl bibliography (Bruchert 2000), and have been incorporating those I did not have in mine. Many previously hard to get articles are now available on the web - see for instance postings on the Atlatl Forum at the Paleoplanet webpage http://paleoplanet69529.yuku.com/forums/26/t/WAA-Links-References.html and on the World Atlatl Association pages at http://www.worldatlatl.org/ If I know about it, I will sometimes indicate such an electronic source as well as the original citation. The articles use a variety of measurements. Some useful conversions: 1”=2.54
