This book offers a series of studies focused on the analysis of stone
tool technology of the Folsom Culture. The analyses presented here use
comparative methods to identify patterns of lithic assemblage structure
and variation that provide insights into the organization of Folsom
technology and lifeways, considering multiple aspects of Folsom
technology including: tool manufacture and reduction system modeling,
studies of raw material variation, use-wear, technological variation in
weaponry assemblages, and the organization of technology. They thus
contribute substantially to a growing understanding of the patterns and
processes in Folsom technology and the causes of diversity within Folsom
lithic assemblages.
