Abstract

ABSTRACT We previously showed that stone-tool technological attributes thought to be unique to the Clovis period were present in a radiocarbon and OSL dated middle Holocene-age stratum at Goodson Shelter, Oklahoma (Eren et al. 2018a. “Is Clovis Technology Unique to Clovis?” PaleoAmerica 4:202–228). Consequently, we argued that technological attributes alone should not be used to assign assemblages to Clovis times. Huckell, Haynes, and Holliday (2019. “Comments on the Lithic Technology and Geochronology of the Goodson Rock Shelter.” PaleoAmerica 6:131–134) proposed two alternative hypotheses: that material we identified as Clovis-like was not, or that it was Clovis but had been mixed with younger deposits. They called for more information on the Clovis-like assemblage at Goodson, and additional dating of the site's lowest deposits. We provide that information, which confirms that stone-tool technologies ostensibly unique to Clovis were indeed in use in the middle Holocene.

三叶草技术并非三叶草独有

摘要：我们之前已经表明，在俄克拉荷马州古德森避难所的一个放射性碳和OSL年代的全新世中期地层中，存在着被认为是克洛维斯时期特有的石器技术属性（Eren等人，2018a。“克洛维斯技术是克洛维斯独有的吗？”古美洲4:202–228）。因此，我们认为，不应仅使用技术属性来将组合分配给克洛维斯时代。Huckell、Haynes和Holliday（2019。古美洲6:131-134）提出了两个替代假设：我们确定的类似克洛维斯的物质不是，或者它是克洛维斯，但与较年轻的矿床混合在一起。他们呼吁提供更多关于古德森类似克洛维斯的组合的信息，并对该遗址最低矿床进行额外的年代测定。我们提供了这些信息，这证实了克洛维斯表面上独特的石制技术确实在全新世中期使用。

期刊介绍： PaleoAmerica disseminates new research results and ideas about early human dispersal and migrations, with a particular focus on the Americas. It fosters an interdisciplinary dialog between archaeologists, geneticists and other scientists investigating the dispersal of modern humans during the late Pleistocene. The journal has three goals: First and foremost, the journal is a vehicle for the presentation of new research results. Second, it includes editorials on special topics written by leaders in the field. Third, the journal solicits essays covering current debates in the field, the state of research in relevant disciplines, and summaries of new research findings in a particular region, for example Beringia, the Eastern Seaboard or the Southern Cone of South America. Although the journal’s focus is the peopling of the Americas, editorials and research essays also highlight the investigation of early human colonization of empty lands in other areas of the world. As techniques are developing so rapidly, work in other regions can be very relevant to the Americas, so the journal will publish research relating to other regions which has relevance to research on the Americas.
