Abstract
Rosaliya differs from other Northern Archaic sites in that it mostly contains products of microblade technology. But the authors’ main focus is on the three tool systems found at Northern Archaic sites and what hunting techniques, seasons, or prey animals would be associated with the different weapon systems: spear, atlatl and dart, and bow and arrow.
