Archaeology Brown-bag Lecture by Daniel Winkler, UW-Milwaukee

The focus of this paper is human use of Plainview lithic technology as represented by lithic debitage and tools from two sites in southern Wisconsin. This work takes an assemblage approach to understanding the structure of the lithic economy in use at the sites, in order to examine mobility, site structure, household makeup and ritual in the western Great Lakes during the early Holocene (circa 8600 B.P.).
