Book excerpt: Part II (L to Z) along with a separate volume Part I (A to K) is a 1600-page prehistory of Virginia and its surrounding states. These two books contain nearly 10,000 prehistoric artifacts. Also, it contains the entire McCary Fluted Point Survey. It was written for the layman, and avocational archaeologist, and especially, the breadth of coverage will benefit even the most experienced professional archaeologist's understanding of Virginia prehistoric archaeology. This volume covers the archaeological concepts of macrotools, microtools, tool types, and tool classes. It discusses cultural resources and sites, offer artifacts dates, Virginia cultural divisions (NAGPRA responsibilities), tool functions and usages, artifacts lithics and production methods, and how to record artifacts. The artifact focus is projectile points, axes, celts, bannerstones, pottery, and hundreds of other tools. In addition, a list of Virginia collectors, an extensive bibliography, and an index. For most of the artifacts presented, provenance, material, and measurements are given. These data make the publication a valuable resource for others performing archaeological investigations. Because so many of these prehistoric tools also are found outside Virginia, the publication can be used for comparative examples and data for the entire eastern U.S. and beyond. This publication is the only record of thousands of artifacts in Virginia. Related book by the author: Clovis Points in Virginia.

Download or read book PaleoAmerican Archaeology in Virginia written by Wm Jack Hranicky. This book was released on 2017-10-10. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a full-color study of over 500 pre-Clovis stone artifacts of Virginia. With the 22K-year date of the Cinmar bipoint in Virginia, there is ample evidence of artifact classes that are older than Clovis. Over 50 tool types are illustrated and discussed. Artifact single-site collections are documented. The book argues the differences between Holocene biface technology with the blade and core technology of the Pleistocene era. The requirements for identifying Pleistocene artifacts is presented, such as platforms, remaining cortex, and invasive retouch. They are presented in a tool model. Major stones, namely jasper, are discussed as a lithic determinism. The east coast distribution is presented for various tool types. Additionally, as a major focus, cross-Atlantic flake/blade identical tools from Europe are illustrated with Middle Atlantic artifacts. Artifact ergonomics, such as right-left handed tools, hypothetical tool center, are argued. Structural and functional axis are shown and described on how to identify them on tools. Overall, this book presents an initiating view of the archaeology needed to study Pleistocene era artifacts on the American east coast.
