The Clovis Toolkit Uniting Bifaces and Blades for Crafting Excellence

We experimentally reduced blade and bifacial cores and found both reduction strategies to be equally efficient for the production of useable flake blanks. The. Jackson homestead includes three dwellings: the main Jackson family house and two less substantial dwellings. The main house was first constructed as a ... Two unifaces are in the collection. Both are made on biface-thinning flakes. One is unifa- cially worked at one end of the flake. The other is unifacially ... This document has been prepared for the Federal Columbia River Power System (FCRPS). Cultural Resources Program (CRP) to address a ... This paper concludes a long-term experimental study to examine the role of bipolar and freehand reduction as strategies for lithic miniaturization on milky ... have been regarded by some as unfluted Clovis ... Two lithic technological procedures represented during the Paleo period are. Folsom fluting and blade production ... Describing northern Plains. Clovis technology, Bradley states, “Most Clovis tools are either bifaces or are made from flakes that resulted from ... There is reason to expect, and compel- ling evidence to show, that cache blades are not repre- sentative of Clovis blade production and products. We describe the associated Clovis lithic assemblage of bifaces ... technological variation in Clovis tool production. ... blade production took place at the ... The results indicate that the most significant transition in efficiency likely took place with the introduction of small foliate biface, Levallois and ...
