Opis

This volume is an extensive collection of chapters discussing Folsom artifacts and sites, as well as innovative experiments undertaken to understand Folsom technology and lifeways. Public and private collections of Folsom artifacts were brought together with professional and amateur lithic analysts and knappers in an attempt to determine how the ancient stone tools were made and used. In addition, Folsom Technology and Lifeways summarizes interaction among knappers and analysts, and the attempts to replicate specific artifact types represented. It is a unique volume in that it examines the variation present in technology and behavior across a wide range of Folsom localities.

John E. Clark is an American archaeologist and academic researcher of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures and holds a position as professor of anthropology at Brigham Young University. He is also director of the New World Archaeology Foundation. Clark has written and lectured extensively on Mesoamerican archaeology.||Michael B. Collins is a Research Associate Professor at Texas State University in San Marcos. He has specialised in the study of lithic technology and worked with prehistoric collections from North, Central, and South America, as well as the Near East and southwestern Europe. He collaborated on the lithics research for the preClovis site of Monte Verde, Chile. Dr. Collins is currently active in research on the earliest part of the American archaeological record and published Clovis Blade Technology (UT Press) and Clovis Stone Tool Technology (in press)
