Abstract
The authors discuss the paleoenvironment and the evidence for early settlement patterns and land use in the Eastern United States, from Little Salt Spring in Florida to Rodgers Shelter in Missouri (Late Paleo-Indian Dalton subtradition, taken to have developed directly out of Clovis) to Vail in Maine. They see little evidence for big game hunting and think archaeologists need to develop hypotheses that are based on data from the Eastern United States, which has more fluted points and fluted point sites than the West.
