The Arizona Paleoindian Projectile Point Survey - Poster

The Arizona Paleoindian Projectile Point Survey is a long-term project to document known occurrences of Paleoindian and Paleoarchaic-age projectile points throughout the state of Arizona by drawing upon public outreach, voluntary disclosure, and the results of published research. Of particular interest are public and private artifact collections containing projectile point types dating between roughly 11,500 and 8,000 radiocarbon years before present. These include fluted Paleoindian point types such as Clovis and Folsom, unfluted point types such as Plainview, Agate Basin, Hell Gap, Eden, Scottsbluff, and Frederick-Allen, and Paleoarchaic point types such as Lake Mojave, Silver Lake, and San Dieguito. The survey builds upon previous regional and statewide compilations (e.g. Agenbroad 1967; Faught and Freeman 1998; Haynes 2011; Huckell 1982; Pilles and Geib 2001) while employing the methodology and GIS approach of the Paleoindian Database of the Americas (PIDBA). The Arizona Paleoindian Projectile Point Survey is guided by two interrelated objectives: 1) create and maintain an accessible statewide database of known Paleoindian projectile points and 2) improve the overall resolution of Paleoindian point distributions in the western United States (in conjunction with PIDBA).

亚利桑那古印第安投射尖状器调查（Arizona Paleoindian Projectile Point Survey）是一项长期研究项目，旨在通过公众宣传推广、自愿信息披露以及已发表研究成果，记录亚利桑那州全境范围内已知的古印第安（Paleoindian）与古阿卡迪亚期（Paleoarchaic-age）投射尖状器（projectile point）的出土地点。本次调查重点关注涵盖距今约11500至8000碳十四年的投射尖状器类型的公共与私人文物藏品，其中包括克洛维斯（Clovis）、福尔瑟姆（Folsom）等带凹槽古印第安尖状器类型，普莱恩维尤（Plainview）、玛瑙盆地（Agate Basin）、地狱缺口（Hell Gap）、伊登（Eden）、斯科茨布拉夫（Scottsbluff）以及弗雷德里克-艾伦（Frederick-Allen）等无凹槽尖状器类型，还有莫哈韦湖（Lake Mojave）、银湖（Silver Lake）与圣迭戈托（San Dieguito）等古阿卡迪亚期尖状器类型。本调查依托此前的区域及全州汇编研究成果（如Agenbroad 1967；Faught and Freeman 1998；Haynes 2011；Huckell 1982；Pilles and Geib 2001），同时采用美洲古印第安数据库（Paleoindian Database of the Americas, PIDBA）的研究方法与地理信息系统（GIS）技术。亚利桑那古印第安投射尖状器调查项目遵循两项相互关联的目标：其一，创建并维护一个可公开访问的全州已知古印第安投射尖状器数据库；其二，（与美洲古印第安数据库协同）提升美国西部古印第安尖状器分布的整体分辨率。
