Abstract
ABSTRACT Early projectile points frequently referred to as “fishtails” or “Fell” are found from northern Mesoamerica to the southern tip of South America. Becoming a widespread PaleoAmerican marker spanning ∼11,000–10,000 radiocarbon years ago, these points are found in the highest concentration in the Southern Cone of South America. To continue documenting and adding data on this topic, in this brief report we present morpho-technological observations on six specimens recently documented in the Republics of Uruguay and Argentina. The points in this sample resemble other Fell points in their general shape, straight and rounded shoulders, resharpening, and overall dimensions.

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.
