Radiocarbon dating of one of the billets yielded an age of 650 to 662 cal AD, placing the billet within the Plains Woodland period of western Oklahoma chronology. Associated artifacts corroborate this age. Evidence for the method of billet manufacture as well as evidence of use are presented. Links provide 3D models of the pair for better viewing and hands-on access.KEYWORDS: Antler Billetlithic replicative experimentOklahomaPlains Woodland AcknowledgementsThis project was not possible without the support of local residents, including Travis Rutledge and Josh Cooke.

MSA people likely used these points for various functions including as weapon tips. Recent work in cultural evolution suggests that functional aspects of technology tend to be more standardized and subject to negative selective pressures, while stylistic aspects are highly visible and tend to be more variable. This study examines the patterns of segmented (proximal vs. distal) standardization for unretouched MSA points from six archaeological assemblages using landmark-based geometric morphometrics to quantify shape variation. Contrary to expectations, our results show that the proximal end has greater shape variation than the distal end. Segregating within point variation provides clues to past function and style patterns in the MSA. This approach also opens new avenues for exploring ethnographic and recent archaeological projectile points.","PeriodicalId":45597,"journal":{"name":"Lithic Technology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45943286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
