Abstract:

McReynolds investigates the distribution of 35,079 Archaic and Woodland projectile points recovered in the state. The distribution of the points by cultural period and region indicates that the Piedmont was more heavily exploited throughout prehistory than the mountains or coastal plain. The distribution also reveals specific preferences for materials in making the points.
