Peoples of the Flute: A Study in Anthropolithic
Forensics
As the glaciers of the last ice age melted, early
occupants of the Americas encountered tremendous environmental
changes. In response, they created some of pre-history?s
most elegant weaponry: the fluted point technologies
known as Clovis and Folsom. But fluting stone is a
risky business that jeopardizes tools essential for
survival. Why was it practiced? What were its origins?
And how was it accomplished?
Anthropolithic forensics, the detailed examination
of man-made stone tools, helps us unravel such mysteries
through careful analysis, computer modeling, and controlled
experimentation. If we can coax these ancient artifacts
to speak to us, we can place ourselves in the minds
of ancient flintknappers to discover the chain of
responses that explain the hows and whys of fluting
technology.
