There has been a shortage of studies of Medio period (AD 1200-1450) lithic assemblages, and even fewer of these have come from outside the immediate vicinity of Paquimé. Here I analyze thousands of flaked stone artifacts from the 76 Draw... more
L’opale résinite, bien qu’étant une matière siliceuse, possède des propriétés physiques particulières, notamment sa brillance, son extrême finesse de grain -jusqu’à un aspect laiteux voire vitreux- et sa fragilité. Il s’agit d’un matériau... more
A common problem in archaeology is the constant shortage of time, money, and personnel necessary to process the extraordinary amount of artifacts that accompanies the excavation of heavily occupied prehistoric sites such as Cahokia and... more
