Abstract
The Haw river site excavations recovered stratified deposits of living floors dating to the Late Paleoindian and Archaic periods. Cable conducts additional analyses with data from the site to critique hunter-gatherer mobility models and to examine the 'relationship between interassemblage variability and Late Glacial/Early Holocene hunter-gatherer settlement systems in the Southeast.' (page 107). In the process he provides an examination of the tools, tool types, and the possible uses of the tools and discusses some theories of tool curation and post depositional processes.
