Description: An article by Leland C. Bement that describes using stone tools to reconstruct Folsom mobility and subsistence practices on the Southern Plains.
Embeddedness of Lithic Technology Recently, archeologists have wrestled with reconstructing Folsom mobility and subsistence practices on the Southern Plains. Tool assemblages at kill and camp sites often include a variety of high quality lithic materials from sources separated by over 300 km. The various lithic materials manifest in any specific assemblage are interpreted as a direct indication of the past movements of the Folsom group. The area encompassed by the plotting of the various lithic sources equates to at least a partial mapping of the area traversed by a particular group. In addition, the size and amount of reworking exhibited on projectile points and the presence of non-fluted or pseudo-fluted points in the assemblage have been used to model a highly efficient and conservative lithic technology sustainable in a highly mobile system.
