"This volume--and every chapter within it--considers evidence of social boundaries, fixed territories, flexible and diverse tool kits and manufacturing practices, diverse raw material selection strategies and exchange, and large populations and aggregations. I look forward to the next steps that the data in this volume offer, including broad comparisons between sites drawing on the detailed site-level and artifact analyses presented. Overall, Volume II of In the Eastern Fluted Point Tradition exceeds its goals, and it is a rich resource that will be harvested for years to come."-- American Antiquity "Should prove useful to researchers interested in developing future cross-site comparisons or building and testing regional models of technology, group interaction, and landscape use. This is the major strength of Volume II: it presentsin many cases for the first timedata from both well- and lesser-known fluted point sites in eastern North America in a manner that will provide a foundation upon which to build future studies."-- Journal of California and Great Basin Archaeology "This data-rich volume represents an important contribution to our understanding of Paleoindian settlement-subsistence behaviors, regional chronologies, and the placement of sites relative to particular landforms and salient environmental features. It certainly merits a place in any Paleoindian archaeologist's library."-- Midcontinental Journal of Archaeology "The volume has a vast amount of outstanding technical content.
It is a major and important work of scholarship that will be widely read by professional and avocational archaeologists alike. Like volume I, this will be a basic reference for the next several decades."-- David G. Anderson , University of Tennessee, Anthropology "The volume is a significant contribution; it contains unpublished data, new ideas, and conclusions that challenge some of our cherished notions about late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers in the Eastern Woodlands. As a whole, I think that even those outside the specialty of Paleoindian archaeological research will find it useful."-- Juliet E. Morrow , University of Arkansas, Anthropology & Geoarcheology.
