Crowfield (AfHj-31): A Unique Paleoindian Fluted Point Site from Southwestern Ontario (Memoirs of the Museum of Anthropology, University of Michigan)
I recommend strongly purchasing this book, thinking it indispensable in the library of any researcher interested in Early Paleoindians and lithic technology. The richness of the Crowfield monograph is based on the complexity of the investigation, the contribution of multiple lines of evidence to support the interpretations, as well as the candid approach of the authors who want to understand but recognize the difficulty of making stones talk. --Claude Chapdelaine, Département d anthropologie, Université de Montréal, Recherches Amerindiennes au Quebec, XLI, No. 1, 2011Although the authors are refreshingly honest about the ambiguities in what we can know about the Crowfield material, they make a strong case that this material opens at least a small window into Paleoindian religious practice, a domain of early lives in the New World about which we know virtually nothing. . . . The Crowfield volume sets a new standard for Paleoindian lithic analysis, whether that analysis focuses on a cache or not, and it sets that standard very high. --Douglas B.
