Dolores Archaeological Program Technical Reports, DAP-075: A Preliminary Projectile Point Analysis for the Dolores Archaeological Project

The major reason for this projectile point analysis was to create an objective classification system by which functional, technological, and stylistic variation among these high-input items could be compared and interpreted. Such concerns as determining the broad temporal sensitivity of the types established, temporally extending the typology beyond the main Anasazi sequence, spatially extending its applicability beyond the D.A.P., or making significant theoretical/methodological contributions to the archaeological literature, have remained only secondary motivations.
