methods to evaluate cultural diversification on the Southern High Plains during Late Paleoindian times, as measured by the number of different point types. Based on analysis of Plainview points from several sites, Lubbock points from Lubbock Lake, and Milnesand points from the type-site (Milnesand, Texas), they conclude that (1) diversification occurred, (2) recommend that the points from Milnesand should be reclassified as Plainview, and (3) Plainview and Lubbock points are, in fact, different types. In the final chapter, the editors discuss the broader significance of key findings, differences of opinion on the what’s, when’s, and where’s of the Plainview-type point and the technocomplex, and offer directions for future research. In summary, Plainview is a solid book. Some content refreshed my memory, but most of it is new and reinforces why I think the archaeology of Paleoindians is a blast. For nonspecialists, it is a great place to start learning more about the behavior of Late Paleoindians who used unfluted lanceolate points. For specialists, it includes juicy data and ideas on old dirt, animal bones, and material culture, and it belongs on your shelf.
