Far Northeastern Paleo

[uniface]

Ran into a really good dissertation on the net, apparently covering some sites in the New England-Maritimes area (just skimmed so far, so can't say for sure).
What's especially exciting about it is that it illustrates a large number of flake & blade tools.

Highly recommended.

With reference to "Leon's" Lithic-Poor environment : notice how small the tools are, how few were discarded while there was still any potential use left in them, and how many were broken up for radial break tools.

Every picture tells a story. And unlike most of the abstraction-based, ponderous loads-of-words theses being churned out in the last 25 or so years, this one incorporates a lot of pictures (line drawings).
