John W. Ives, Gabriel Yanicki, Kisha Supernant & Courtney Lakevold (2019) Confluences: Fluted Points in the Ice-Free Corridor, PaleoAmerica, 5:2, 143-156, DOI: 10.1080/20555563.2019.1600136
We undertake an expanded analysis of the Western Canadian Fluted Points database. Given clear
evidence of biotic habitability along the entire Corridor by 13,000 years ago, fluted point spatial
clusters likely reflect both Clovis contemporaneous and later fluted point instances. Points were
overwhelmingly fashioned on local toolstones, featuring a bimodal length distribution (larger,
relatively unaltered fluted points versus reworked, smaller fluted points at the end of their use
life), mainly found in dispersed landscape settings rather than major kills or campsites. The
temporal cline from older Clovis forms south of the ice masses to younger fluted points in
Alaska suggests fluted point makers traversing the Corridor eventually met populations bearing
eastern Beringian traditions. Corridor fluted point morphologies may indicate the degree to
which diffusion or demic expansion mediated north-south interactions: deeper bases, parallel
sides and multiple basal thinning flakes reflect intermediate forms similar to Younger Dryas-aged
Alaskan fluted points.
John W. (Jack) Ives. 2015. 'Kinship, Demography, and Paleoindian Modes of Colonization:
Some Western Canadian Perspectives' in Michael David Frachetti & Robert N. Spengler III (eds.) Mobility and Ancient Society in Asia and the Americas: Proceedings of the Second International Conference on “Great Migrations” Held at Columbia University in December 1-2, 2011. Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
Unlike many avenues of social science enquiry, the study of variability in human kinship has been
almost uniquely the domain of anthropologists. Kinship provided core subject matter for more than a
century of anthropological thought (Trautmann 2001 ), and until quite recently, important theoretical
trends in anthropology were founded with signifi cant reference to kinship studies. Despite its centrality
as anthropological subject matter, detecting organizing features connected with kinship in archaeological
records or using kin structures in understanding the past have been subsidiary activities in
anthropological archaeology.
This is a podcast about new and innovative research in archaeology.
Each episode I talk with pioneering and influential archaeologists about their journal papers, books and research projects.
Season 1 is all about the latest research into the Archaeology of the Roman West.
Season 2 is on Innovative Research in Australia.
Season 3 is on the Archaeology of Early Medieval Europe.
Season 4 is on Latest Research on the Peopling of North America.
Future Seasons: Well, I'm open to suggestions!
Medieval Europe, Osteoarchaeology, Mesoamerica, Pacific Archaeology, Prehistoric Burials, Post-Medieval, Scientific Techniques, South-east Asia, Bronze Age Monuments. You tell me!
