Anzick site (Clovis cashe) analyzed

<< < (2/3) > >>

Zuma:
Hey thanks Steve  ;D
I am not sure but I think the guy sorta thinks the Solutrean
stuff is possible. It is from 2014. Perhaps he didn't get the
Eren et al and recent DNA reports. lol

Ghost Knapper:
I havent read the article yet but flipped through it quickly wonder if the beveled bone rods are anything like the ones found as part of the Ritchey Clovis Cache?

JackCrafty:
On the subject of the bone rods, the people who study Clovis artifacts are probably not looking at things like Ishi's tools (big surprise).  The bone rods found on Clovis sites look a lot like the rods Ishi used on his fishing spears.  But I don't know if Ishi's are made of bone.  Maybe one of you guys can help me out there...

Have a day off work so I plan to read it soon. @ 'ghost'; yes, they look very similar to the Wenatchee ivory rods. @ 'jack'; I've heard a few theories on what the bone rods could have been used for but have not heard your theory. Very interesting thought.

Zuma:
Thanks for the help and interest folks.
The rods are interesting to me mostly because they show up in the cashes
but I haven't read much about them in actual digs. No matter what they
are, they sure must require a lot of work to produce.
Bob Patten claims that western Clovis points have very little to no pressure flaking.
But the analysis claims the points and smaller base flutes were pressure flaked???
It's like there is absolutely no agreement on these cashes.
