Abstract
This work concentrates on the northern High Plains of the United States, with a discussion of the hunted fauna and which projectile points were used (only the data pertaining to Clovis and Dalton are relevant to the Early Paleo-Indian Tradition). The author aims to help archaeologists better understand how prehistoric people might have hunted, what tools they would have needed, and the knowledge that would have been required about the various species and their behaviors.
