Description

This full-color publication is a report on the PaleoAmerican Pleistocene site in Clarke County, Virginia. The site was a jasper and chalcedony occupation on a west terrace of the Shenandoah River. Report provides analytical data and photographs of nearly 80 artifacts recovered from the site. These artifacts were surface finds by the landowner. This study contains comparative artifacts from the eastern U.S. as well as from Europe. The basic premise is the site's ancestry is the Old World. While the site will be preserved for the future, four test pits were dug in cardinal directions. The site is a camp site for hunting and gatherering as little manufacturing evidence was found. The site has no date other than being in the Pleistocene era of the valley.
