Abstract

The nature of Early Paleoindian economies in late Pleistocene eastern North America has been extensively debated by archaeologists. To better understand paleoeconomies we need to examine intraregional and interregional diversity in the production, consumption, distribution, and exchange of materials that sustained or reproduced early Paleoindian livelihoods. Coarse-grained comparisons drawn on the composition of flaked-stone tool assemblages from early Paleoindian sites in the Northeast (western New York State) and the western Midwest (the confluence area of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers) show varying degrees of homogeneity and heterogeneity in the use of tool stone. Statistically significant patterns from stone procurement and tool manufacturing sites, base camps, and food procurement and processing sites are presented in support of a pancontinental model of flexible economies during a period of rapid and dramatic environmental change.

Résumé

Résumé

Los arqueólogos han discutido extensamente la naturalem de las economías del Paleoindio Temprano durante el pleistoceno tardío en Nortéamerica oriental. Para entender mejor las paleo-economías, debe examinarse la diversidad tanto intra- como interregional en cuanto a la productión, el consumo, la distributión y el intercambio de los materiales que sostenían o reproducían la subsistencia del Paleoindio Temprano. La comparación a grosso modo de los conjuntos de herramientas líticas de los sitios del Paleoindio Temprano en el nordeste (el occidente del estado de Nueva York) y el Medio-Oeste occidental (el área de la confluencia de los ríos Misisipi, Misuri, e Ilinois) demuestra un grado variable de homogeneidad y heterogeneidad en el uso de materiales líticos en el conjunto de herramientas. Este artículo denota unos patrones estadisticamente significativos con respecto a dos sitios de procuratión litica y la fabricatión de herramientas (Emanon Pond en el condado de Genesee, Nueva York, y Ready en el condado de Jersey, Ilinois), dos campamentos residenciales (Arc en el condado de Genesee, Nueva York, y Bostrom en el condado de St. Clair, Ilinois) y dos sitios de procuratión y preparatión de comestibles (Hiscock en el condado de Genesee, Nueva York, y Kimmswick en el condado de Jefferson, Misuri). Estos patrones apoyan un modelo pan-continental de economías flexibles durante un periodo de cambio rápido y dramático en el medio ambiente.
