Abstract

The Jim Pitts site is a multicomponent Paleoindian locality in the Black Hills of South Dakota, with a rare Goshen residential occupation. All Paleoindian components were comprised in the Leonard paleosol. The deepest component at the site is a Goshen level dated to 10,185 ± 25 B.P. It correlates with a late fall-early winter camp site. Over the course of its use parts of at least five bison were procured and introduced to the site. Above this level an array of point styles, including Goshen, Folsom, Agate Basin, several Fishtail points, James Allen, Cody, and Alberta, have also been found. The following study provides a typological and technological description of the point assemblage and weighs the implications of the chrono-cultural stratigraphy for reconstructing the Paleoindian cultural landscape. It questions the validity of some types, particularly Goshen, as cultural and chronological markers. Ultimately, the evidence presented here reinforces a model in which multiple Paleoindian point types occur simultaneously on the central and northern Great Plains. This in turn challenges a unilineal view of Paleoindian culture history.

Résumé

Résumé

El sitio Jim Pitts es una localidad multi-componente Paleoindia en los Black Hills de Dakota del Sur, con una infrecuente ocupación residencial Goshen. Todos los componentes Paleoindios están comprendidos en el paleosuelo Leonard. El componente más profundo del sitio es un nivel Goshen fechado en 10,185 ± 25 a.P., el cual se correlaciona con un campamento otoñalinveral durante el cual partes de al menos cinco bisontes fueron procurados e introducidos al sitio. Sobre este nivel, una variedad de puntas de proyectil incluyendo Goshen, Folsom, Agate Basin, varias puntas cola de pescado, James Allen, Cody, y Alberta también fueron halladas. El análisis que sigue aporta una descripción tipológica y tecnológica de los conjuntos de puntas y examina las implicaciones de la estratigrafía crono-cultural para la reconstrucción del paisaje cultural Paleoindio. Se cuestiona la validez de algunos tipos, particularmente el tipo Goshen, como un indicador cultural y cronológico. La evidencia presentada fundamentalmente refuerza un modelo donde múltiples tipos de puntas Paleoindias ocurren simultáneamente en las Grandes Llanuras centrales y septentrionales, que desafía la perspectiva unilineal de la historia cultural Paleoindia.
