Clovis in the Southeast Conference Exhibitions and Displays
Conference Objective The primary objective of the conference is to scientifically explore the Clovis Culture and its origins within the southeastern United States. This is being done in collaboration with both the scientific community and the public involving privately and publicly owned paleoamerican artifact collections. It is intended as an educational forum for all who attend.
Exhibitions	Description
Little River Site Complex, Kentucky Exhibitor: Carl Yahnig Private Collection	The Little River site complex consists of four sites (Adams, Boyd-Ledford, Roeder, and Ezell) in Christian County, Kentucky. The sites are located along a chert-rich, four-mile stretch of the Little River. Flaked-stone artifacts include hundreds of Clovis bifaces broken in various stages of manufacture, polyhedral blade cores, and tools made on blades. No other Clovis site in eastern North America better documents the importance of blade manufacturing than the Little River site complex.
Florida Paleos Exhibitor: Brian Evensen Private Collection	Brian Evensen curates an extensive individually recovered paleo collection from within Florida. Numerous examples of Clovis, Suwannee and Simpson lithics and their variants are represented.
Hendrix Collection Exhibitors: Scott Mitchell Guy Marwick Private Collections	The Hendrix Collection is one of the most significant privately curated and provenienced paleo collections from within Florida. The collection will be presented by Scott Mitchell and Guy Marwick of the Silver River Museum.
Williamson Site Dinnwiddle County Virginia and North Carolina Fluted Points Exhibitor: Rodney M. Peck Private Collection	The Williamson Site considered by many to be the most extensive Paleo Indian Site discovered to date in North America. It covers hundreds of acres of land with approximately eighty percent situated in woods and pasture, and the remaining twenty percent is in cultivated fields. Certain areas of the site are considered as camp or habitation sites, for it is here one finds complete Clovis points, core blades, preforms, various types of scrapers and other tools, as well as large quantities of pressure-flaked debitage. Outside these camp or habitation sites, the area is covered with large percussion spalls, large blanks and preforms, waste cores, hammerstones and chunks of unworkable debris. http://www.pasnsc.org/profiles/Rodney_Peck/profile_of_rodney_peck.htm
Gault Site - Texas Exhibitor: Michael B. Collins University of Texas	The Gault Project is an important Paleoindian excavation in Central Texas. Based at the Texas Archeological Research Laboratory (TARL) at the University of Texas at Austin and under the direction of Dr. Michael Collins, an internationally known group of researchers is working on a multicomponent stratified site that was almost continuously occupied for 11,000 years. In work from 1998-2002, that began with the excavation of a mammoth mandible and associated Clovis artifacts, the Gault Project recovered more than one million artifacts from the site. Currently the Gault staff is analyzing the recovered data and beginning the production of a monograph slated for publication in 2005. http://www.utexas.edu/research/tarl/research/Gault/intro/intro.htm#intro http://www.athenapub.com/10gault.htm
Sloth Hole - Florida Exhibitor: C. Andrew Hemmings	A variety of paleo artifacts recovered during the Aucilla River Prehistory Project
Thunderbird Site- Virginia Exhibitor: Dennis Stanford Smithsonian Institution	The Thunderbird archeological complex in Warren County, Virginia consists of 1,800 acres of prehistoric sites covering the entire range of human prehistory in eastern North America, roughly a 12,000 year period from approximately 10,000 B.C. to 1600 A.D. The Thunderbird site and the Fifty site, are stratified (layers of artifacts indicating human occupancy over 12,000 years) and are two of the most significant and important sites in North America. Thunderbird is one of the few stratified base camps of the paleoindian period known in the Western Hemisphere and contains evidence of the earliest known buildings in the New World.
Shawnee - Minisink Site Delaware Exhibitor: Dennis Stanford Smithsonian Institution	Shawnee - Minisink Site Paleo Artifacts
Carson-Conn-Short Site Kentucky Exhibitor: John Broster	The Carson-Conn-Short site, which is on Kentucky Lake, a reservoir formed by the damming of the Tennessee River, was a source of tool-grade chert. Known formally as 40BN190, the site is west of Nashville. The site revealed an intact fluted-point horizon that includes blade cores, blades, blade tools, and the entire sequence of the manufacture of fluted points. Researchers have 1,600 Clovis tools. The site has produced 12 complete or near-complete Clovis points, 89 fluted preform bases, and about 45 large prismatic blade cores distinctive of Clovis occupation. There are in the neighborhood of six or seven hundred formal tools, all uniface and all made off prismatic blades.

Cumerland and Eastern Clovis -Plus- The Vail Kill Site Assemblage Exhibitor: Mike Gramly, ASAA	A display of regional eastern Clovis and Cumberland lithics from paleo sites throughout the eastern United States. Also, an in-depth look at the Vail site assemblage. The Vail Site is located in a high mountain river valley in Oxford County, Maine on the shore line (at times of low water level) of Aziscohos Lake. The site was discovered by Mr. Francis Vail, Jr. while looking for fishing tackle lost on snags. The site was first reported to Dr. Richard M. Gramly of the Buffalo Museum of Science in Buffalo, New York. He eventually excavated the Paleo-Indian encampment and later discovered two possible kill sites near the campsite. (Gramly 1984:110) Dr. Gramly will also be representing Persimmon Press, Lithic Casting Lab and the ASAA.
Lithic Casting Lab Troy, Illinois Exhibitor: Mike Gramly	Manufacturers of quality casts of stone age artifacts, Lithic Casting Lab offers some of the highest quality casts, posters and postcards of Stone Age artifacts that are available anywhere. http://lithiccastinglab.com/index.htm

McCary Fluted Point Survey Virginia Exhibitor: Wm Jack Hranicky	The Survey records fluted points found in Virginia and provides the Survey database to scholars studying American prehistory. While principally a Clovis point record, any fluted point from the Paleoindian period can be recorded and included in the Survey. The Survey maintains an electronic database of all its recorded points which is available to anyone who is seriously studying Paleoindian technology. This database is part of the public domain of American archaeology and is available at no cost to anyone requesting it. http://www.mccary-survey.com/pages/1/index.htm
Heaven's Half Acre Site Alabama Exhibitor: Howard King	Discovered by Horace Holland in the 1950's. This famous site is made up of two or three dozen sub-sites in and around a large Pleistocene lake or sink. It is among the largest and most productive Paleoamerican sites known to exist in the United States.
Lamb Site New York Exhibitor: Chris Lamb	Investigated in 1986-1990 by a team of avocational archaeologists directed by Dr. R. Michael Gramly, the Lamb Site is noteworthy for the discovery of clustered, pristine flaked tools fashioned from raw materials from sources 500-1800 km west of New York State.
