A STUDY OF CLOVIS LITHIC TECHNOLOGY AT THE CARSON-CONN-SHORT SITE (40BN190) IN THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY John B. Broster and Mark R. Norton Abstract: Excavations and survey has been conducted on site 40bn190 over the last 13 years. In the process some 32 Clovis projectile points, 481 Clovis preforms, 695 uniface tools, 262 unretouched prismatic blades, and 158 prismatic blade cores have been recovered from the surface and excavation units. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss the analysis of both biface and uniface reduction strategies for this unique site. Additionally, we will present our views of site function and its relationship to the 20 or more other Clovis sites in the surrounding area of the Tennessee River Valley. John B. Broster John B.
