Clovis Technology by Collins et al.

[uniface]

A friend sent me his copy of this to read.

Next order of business here is to save up $47.50 to get my own copy (paperback).

It's written by archies for an archie audience, so there's not much slack cut in it for people who won't put the effort into getting familiar with a lot of twenty-five cent terms and concepts. But if you want to understand Paleo lithic procedures, you're going to have to anyhow, and this is a great place to start.

Then again, you could always just look at the pictures

Thanks for the info. Gonna order mine from Amazon unless I can google it cheaper somewhere. Looks like a must have. I can struggle through the academics and am getting better at it the more I read. I could go back and read some of the papers I wrote in grad school now and laugh at the sheer pretentiousness of some of it.

Thanks "UNI",,This makes me think of all the folks that find artifacts and say"Hey this is Paleo",or buy an artifact on E-bay just because someone say's"This artifact is Paleo".If you really want to know,,, do the studying it takes to really know.
Rarely are there short cuts in this world,,,,but I might wait until a used copy becomes available at a lower Price///lol
