Abstract: <p>This thesis analyzes variability in a sample (n=302) of late Paleoindian Hi-Lo points from Ontario and New York. Biface variability is recorded using landmark geometric morphometrics. Raw material data is used to assess Hi-Lo toolstone usage patterns and the impact of raw material constraints on manufacture. Statistical analyses are used to assess patterning of variability in space.… more Full Text: GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS OF LATE PALEOINDAN HI-LO POINTS IN ONTARIO AND NEW YORK: TESTING EXPECTATIONS OF THE SETTLING IN HYPOTHESIS A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of …
