The study sample is assembled from the Ohio Archaeological Inventory (OAI) which includes the work of professional archaeologists involved in cultural resource management projects (CRM), regional preservation office surveys (RPO), and university and museum research. In order to interpret real patterns of Paleoindian behavior, the overarching goal, two studies were necessary. The first study examines the effects of modern biases on the fluted point distribution by using Kendall’s Tau, a nonparametric statistical test. The second study utilizes Geographic Information Sciences (GIS) to assess cultural patterning at the 1) state or regional level and 2) the local catchment level composition regarding the environmental resources proximal to each fluted point find. 2009-06-17 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1243908124 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1243908124 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
