| Description | Journal: Plains Anthropologist This study explores weaponry design as it relates to the organization of technology at the Agate Basin site. Specifically, I explore potential sharing of weaponry elements during communal hunts, and the implications of such sharing as they pertain to overall technological organization of Agate Basin hunting groups. K-means cluster analysis is utilized to determine whether hafted-area morphologies on Agate Basin points are standardized and consistent with expectations we might have if sharing of weaponry elements was planned for in the preparation for a communal hunt. I argue that standardization and sharing of weapons was a reliable organizational technique potentially employed by Paleoindian hunters during seasonal aggregations that served to secure critical resources during a time when failure during a hunt would prove catastrophic. |
