Innovation and cultural transmission in the American Paleolithic: Phylogenetic analysis of eastern Paleoindian projectile-point classes
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Using phylogenetic analysis to evaluate fluted-point classes from the eastern United States, preliminary results suggest that there is both temporal and spatial patterning of some classes and that much of the variation in form has to do with modifications to hafting elements.
