Abstract

Coincident with the climatic changes occurring during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, a number of regionally distinct Paleoindian projectile-point styles emerged throughout North America. This paper examines one understudied and poorly understood Late Paleoindian style, the San Patrice point. Although traditionally considered woodland-adapted hunter-gatherers, projectile-point distributions indicate that San Patrice groups, utilizing the same hafting and resharpening technologies, also made significant use of plains resources. Raw material sourcing reveals that while all San Patrice populations focused on local toolstone sources, plains bands were more mobile than those in the woodlands. These findings have implications for our greater understanding of Paleoindian adaptations. While some hunter-gatherers developed specialized, environmentally specific strategies, San Patrice groups adopted more generalized strategies enabling them to succeed in diverse settings.

Résumé

Résumé

Coincidente con los cambios climáticos durante la transición del Pleistoceno-Holoceno, varios estilos de puntos proyectiles Paleoíndios distintos surgieron por Norteamérica. Este artículo examina el punto proyectil de San Patrice, um estilo Tarde Paleoíndio insuficientemente entendido y ya no estudado con profundidad. Aunque tradicionalmente considerados cazadoresrecolectores adaptados al bosque, los extensiones de los puntos proyectiles indican que los grupos de San Patrice, usando la mesma tecnología de poner mango y afilar de nuevo, también utilizaron en gran manera los recursos del llano. La fuente de materia prima revela que, mientras los grupos de San Patrice enfocaron en fuentes de materia prima y local, las bandas del llano eran más móviles que los grupos del bosque. Estos descubrimientos tienen implicaciones sobre nuestro entendimiento mayor de los adaptaciones de los Paleoíndios. Mientras algunos cazadores-recoletores desarrollaron estrategias específicas para un ambiente especializado, los grupos de San Patrice adoptaron estrategias más generalizadas, permitiendo buen éxito en puestas diversas.
