The prehistoric archeology of Southeast Texas has been summarized and reviewed by numerous authors in the recent past. General syntheses include the work of Aten (1983,1984), Patterson (1979,1983), and Story (1981,1990). Many publications have resulted from avocational and professional efforts within the region, yet a definitive synthesis of the inland Southeast Texas area has yet to be published. The present comments focus on the methods used in chronology building in Southeast Texas as well as presentation of a revised projectile point sequence for that region.

Examination and analysis of surface collections from two upland lithic quarry sites on the Gulf Coastal Plain of Alabama and other sites across North America suggest that a previously undescribed core and flake stone tool technology exists. This technology strongly resembles Old World Levallois core technology. Aspects of this technology are discussed and compared with North American Late Pleistocene/Holocene and Old World Pleistocene flaked stone technologies. Emerging data calls for new perspectives when searching for potential pre-Clovis sites and use of a global approach when conducting stone tool analysis and developing lithic classification systems.
