| Abstract |
|
Analyses of east central Indiana lithic assemblages have traditionally focused on morphological profectile point types and related chronological categories. Debitage analysts interested in prehistoric knapping technology often lack the chronological control of the profectile point morphologists. In order to introduce chronological control into a technological perspective, specific knapping techniques are reconstructed from negative flake scars on the chronologically diagnostic profectile point types studied by the morphologists. A chronologically controlled reference point is thus devised for debitage analysts defining diagnostic flake types. |
