Originally published in 1989, Eastern Paleoindian Lithic Resource Use is a series of papers that examine Paleoindian lifeways from various viewpoints, all of which have their foundations in stone and examining artifacts. Exploring the link between lithic materials (especially cryptocrystallines and chert), and Paleoindian mobility and looking at the transport of stone, seasonal resource availability, stone caches, use as social markers and land movement patterns and its surrounding data.
