| Popis: | This paper uses minimum analytical nodule analysis (MANA) as a tool to evaluate local-scale patterns of lithic technological organization in the Late Paleoindian Cody complex Locality I and Locality V components at the Hell Gap site, Wyoming. The spatially proximate and temporally overlapping loci provide an opportunity to assess how these Paleoindians organized lithic technology while using a core area focused land-use strategy. The technological strategies are similar in terms of lithic procurement, tool use, and discard; the main difference is that greater emphasis was placed on tool production in the Locality V assemblage as it functioned secondarily as a workshop. Besides being a campsite, Locality V served, in part, as a hub for tool production at which Cody complex hunter-gatherers prepared tools for forays within and outside the Hartville Uplift core area; Locality I was a campsite within the Hartville Uplift core area. Reflected in this study are glimpses of the separate but interrelated ... |
