Plainview - The Enigmatic Paleoindian Artifact Style of the Great Plains

The Plainview Paleoindian artifact style was first recognised in 1947, after numerous projectile points were found during excavations of a bison kill site near Plainview, Texas. In the decades that followed, however, Plainview became something of a catch-all category with artifacts from across the continent being lumped together based merely on gross similarities. This volume unravels the meaning of Plainview, detailing what is known about this particular technology and time period.
