Abstract
This article analyzes the Bolton Collection of 1384 lithic artifacts, including dart and spear points from the Paleoindian through the Woodland periods. The analysis places the points in the sequence used by Perttula. The points are compared with those from the middle Sabine River basin counties as well as the analysis of the Archaic points of the Cypress Creek drainage basin. In addition, the Archaic and Woodland population density of Camp County based on the proportional frequency of projectile points of known age is compared with that of the middle Sabine River basin counties and the Cypress Basin. Additional comparisons are made with archaeological sites in the Post Oak Savanna to the north and west and in the Blackland Prairie to the west.
Highlights
During the 1930s and early 1940s, Mr Oliver Bolton acquired a collection of Indian artifacts
The similarities of point forms at these two locations confirms the habitation by people of the same culture and projectile point technology.During the Early Archaic and Paleoindian periods, both regions were visited by a few explorers mostly from Central Texas who left a few of their dart points behind
The Camp County artifacts of the Woodland period include those that identify the local people as belonging to the Fourche Maline culture
