Download or read book PaleoAmerican Archaeology in Virginia written by Wm Jack Hranicky and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a full-color study of over 500 pre-Clovis stone artifacts of Virginia. With the 22K-year date of the Cinmar bipoint in Virginia, there is ample evidence of artifact classes that are older than Clovis. Over 50 tool types are illustrated and discussed. Artifact single-site collections are documented. The book argues the differences between Holocene biface technology with the blade and core technology of the Pleistocene era. The requirements for identifying Pleistocene artifacts is presented, such as platforms, remaining cortex, and invasive retouch. They are presented in a tool model. Major stones, namely jasper, are discussed as a lithic determinism. The east coast distribution is presented for various tool types. Additionally, as a major focus, cross-Atlantic flake/blade identical tools from Europe are illustrated with Middle Atlantic artifacts. Artifact ergonomics, such as right-left handed tools, hypothetical tool center, are argued. Structural and functional axis are shown and described on how to identify them on tools. Overall, this book presents an initiating view of the archaeology needed to study Pleistocene era artifacts on the American east coast.

This book was released on 2016-01-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 300-page site report presents extensive surface-collected artifacts, site testing, and limited excavations on the Arkfeld site in Virginia which offers an insight to the Pleistocene occupation in Virginia and the U.S. The report illustrates and discusses main site areas all of which is called Arkfeld paleosite in Frederick and Clarke Counties, Virginia. It is essentially a quarry tool production area which produced a distinctive toolset. While stone quarrying is the basic focus, clay mining, bitumen coating, and stone figurine production are also the result of the site's investigation and study. The site represents the first known site in the Western Hemisphere of Pleistocene era that has firing of clay. The site's artifacts and processes indicate an Old World legacy from the Paleolithic era. The site has tools forms that are unreported in the eastern U.S. Numerous tool classes are legacy tools for Clovis. The book also discusses lanceolate points.

Book Synopsis Paleoamerican Odyssey by : Kelly E. Graf
Download or read book Paleoamerican Odyssey written by Kelly E. Graf and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-20 with total page 1380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As research continues on the earliest migration of modern humans into North and South America, the current state of knowledge about these first Americans is continually evolving. Especially with recent advances in human genomic studies, both of living populations and ancient skeletal remains, new light is being shed in the ongoing quest toward understanding the full complexity and timing of prehistoric migration patterns. Paleoamerican Odyssey collects thirty-one studies presented at the 2013 conference by the same name, hosted in Santa Fe, New Mexico, by the Center for the Study of the First Americans at Texas A&M University. Providing an up-to-date view of the current state of knowledge in paleoamerican studies, the research gathered in this volume, presented by leaders in the field, focuses especially on late Pleistocene Northeast Asia, Beringia, and North and South America, as well as dispersal routes, molecular genetics, and Clovis and pre-Clovis archaeology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long out of print, this highly acclaimed book is available again with a new Preface and Afterword for a new generation of readers. Published in 1963 when historical archaeology was in its infancy, Here Lies Virginia details the archaeology and excavation of Roanoke Island, Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown, Virginia. Combining artifacts and written records, Ivor Noel Hume provides an intimate portrait of colonial life. In his new Afterword, Noel Hume discusses the changes that have taken place in the field of historical archaeology since the book was first published thirty years ago. He uncovers both the advantages and the shortcomings of computer technology in archaeology as well as problems caused by the separation of artifact studies from archaeological site interpretation. This first paperback edition will bring back into print a treasury of the archaeological history of Virginia.
Book Synopsis North American Bipoints by : Wm Jack Hranicky
Download or read book North American Bipoints written by Wm Jack Hranicky and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: North American Bipoints is a survey of bipoints found in North America. The book contains over two thousand specimens from over thirty-five states, Mexico, and Canada. It is over five hundred pages, 8 1⁄2 x 11 inches, and is printed in black and white. The bipoint is argued as the longest continuously made artifact, starting in the Pleistocene and continuing to contact. There are bipoint photographs with their data and maps, lithics, and charts showing the bipoints in American prehistory. The author is a professional archaeologist with over fifty years of experience in analyzing and publishing artifacts. The resharpened bipoint is the most overlooked artifact in archaeology. Numerous examples are explained and illustrated with their metrics. The book explains--with drawings, photographs, etc.--how to analyze and identify most Pleistocene artifacts. The bipoint's legacy from the Old World is argued. A brief worldwide summary is offered, starting with the seventy-five-thousand-year Blombos Cave bipoint in South Africa. The most famous bipoint, called the Cinmar bipoint, is illustrated. This publication argues that the bipoint is as common as America's arrowheads--all lying on the ground, remaining to be found and identified archaeologically.

Book Synopsis Monacan Millennium by : Jeffrey L. Hantman
Download or read book Monacan Millennium written by Jeffrey L. Hantman and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Jamestown and colonial settlements dominate narratives of Virginia’s earliest days, the land’s oldest history belongs to its native people. Monacan Millennium tells the story of the Monacan Indian people of Virginia, stretching from 1000 A.D. through the moment of colonial contact in 1607 and into the present. Written from an anthropological perspective and informed by ethnohistory, archaeology, and indigenous tribal perspectives, this comprehensive study reframes the Chesapeake’s early colonial period—and its deep precolonial history—by viewing it through a Monacan lens. Shifting focus to the Monacans, Hantman reveals a group whose ritual practices bespeak centuries of politically and culturally dynamic history. This insightful volume draws on archeology, English colonial archives, Spanish sources, and early cartography to put the Monacans back on the map. By examining representations of the tribe in colonial, postcolonial, and contemporary texts, the author fosters a dynamic, unfolding understanding of who the Monacan people were and are.

Book Synopsis The Bipoint in the Settlement of North America by : Wm Jack Hranicky
Download or read book The Bipoint in the Settlement of North America written by Wm Jack Hranicky and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2020-02-15 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 378 page archaeological publication covers the development, definition, classification, and world-wide deployment of the lithic bipoint and includes numerous photographs, drawings, and maps. The bipoint is a legacy implement from the Old World that is found through time/space all over America. It was brought into the U.S. on both coasts; the Pacific Coast introduction was around 17,000 years ago and the Atlantic Coast was 23,000 years ago. The basic bipoint is defined and its manufacturing processes are presented along with bipoint properties, shape/form, resharpening, and cultural associations. This publication illustrates numerous bipoints from the Atlantic and Pacific states (and within the U.S.) and presents some of their inferred chronologies which are the oldest in the New World. Several morphologies between American and Iberian bipoints are compared, namely the famous Virginia Cinmar bipoint. It concludes that a Solutrean occupation did occur on the U.S. Atlantic coastal plain. The bipoint is the most misclassified artifact in American archaeology. The book is indexed and has extensive references.
