| Popis: | Until recently, San Pedro points were the only temporally diagnostic projectile point style associated with the San Pedro phase of the Early Agricultural period in the southern Southwest. Recent archaeological survey and excavation projects conducted in Cienega Valley and the Tucson Basin have identified the Empire point as an additional projectile point style diagnostic of the San Pedro phase. Comparisons of morphologic and metric attributes of Empire and San Pedro points demonstrate that Empire points are morphologically and medically distinct from San Pedro points and should be considered a new projectile point style. The spatial and temporal distributions of Empire points, and the cultural implications of this point style and its distributions, are discussed. |
