Abstract
Lithics from the Longhorn site (41KT53) represented the majority of artifacts recovered from a seventeenth century Native American encampment in western Texas. Both tools and debitage were reanalyzed utilizing macroanalysis to identify stages of their life histories. ArcGIS maps then allowed for the examination of these lithics’ spatial relations across the site. This patterning was evident in clusters of artifact types representing various stages of flintknapping processes. Both cultural and noncultural processes also were examined to determine their role in the creation, distribution, and disturbance of the site’s lithics and related features. Results focused on the roles of these processes concerning activities performed during the site’s occupation. Aspects of trade and mobility were inferred based on the site’s lithic content and position on the landscape, providing a broader representation of late Holocene hunter-gatherer life along the eastern edge of the southern High Plains.
