AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The author describes the flaked lithic assemblage from the excavations and surface collections at Guilá Naquitz Cave, with some pertinent mention of typological issues. There are tentative functional interpretations of tool types, such as for food processing and woodworking. Only artifacts from stratigraphic zones C and B pertain to the Early Archaic. Comparisons to Late Archaic Cueva Blanca, Gheo-Shih, and to (an unspecified degree) the chronologically overlapping Martínez Rock Shelter and Tehuacán Valley assemblages can range beyond the time frame of the Early Archaic pertinent to this file (NY30). For materials sourcing, see Document 20, and for ground stone artifacts see Document 21.)
