“…Narrow, parallel-sided or leaf-shaped Eden-like and Ste. AnneVarney points, with collateral/comedial flaking, appear to be present only in the easternmost EGL and NEM Jackson 2004) (see Figure 11). Given their distinctive forms and flaking technologies, most researchers believe that the widely recognized "Plano" biface varieties, including Agate Basin and Eden/Ste.…”

“…Although Cumberland points are present, bifaces at this site are dominated by late Paleoindian forms, especially Agate Basin, suggesting repetitive use of this locality in the early Holocene. In southern Ontario and the NEM, sites yielding Agate Basin and Hell Gap-like points appear to have a more northerly distribution (e.g., Dibb 2004;Jackson 2004;Lothrop et al 2011), and these appear to generally represent residential occupations.…”

“…Holcombe points in the EGL and CormierNicholas points in the NEM lack consistent attempts at fluting, and are typically basally thinned. Sites and isolates of the Holcombe form are found in northern Indiana (White 2005), Michigan and southern Ontario (Ellis and Deller 1990;Fitting et al 1966;Jackson 2004;Woodley 2004), and western New York (Smith et al 2010). In the NEM, sites with Cormier-Nicholas bifaces concentrate in a restricted section of central New England Lothrop et al 2011, 559).…”

“…Sites and isolated finds are found in the middle and lower Ohio Valley, sometimes in association with Beaver Lake and Quad forms (Jefferies 2008, 85-86;, and across the EGL and NEM Jackson 2004;Prufer and Baby 1963;White 2005White , 2006. Although present, Agate Basinlike points are generally uncommon in the midAtlantic (e.g., Carr and Adovasio 2002;Gingerich 2013b;Kraft 1973).…”

“…A key change, however, is that sites are no longer necessarily associated with the strandline of proglacial Lake Algonquin, as lake levels had dropped below that strandline (Ellis and Deller 1990;Jackson 2004). In the NEM, the few excavated Cormier-Nicholas point sites suggest a pattern of small residential occupation areas, measuring 150 m 2 or less (Wilson et al 1995).…”

This paper summarizes current evidence for earliest human occupation of northeastern North America during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene. We review evolution of the region's landscapes and evidence of archaeological chronologies as context for understanding human settlement of the region. Current data support limited evidence for pre-Clovis occupation south of the Laurentide glacial margin, followed by a significant temporal gap prior to early Paleoindian settlement of the region. Despite differences in subregional data sets, mapping of site distributions and assemblage data do support the notion of variation in lifeways between Paleoindian populations occupying formerly glaciated parts of the Northeast in the late Pleistocene, versus contemporary groups in lands south of the Laurentide glacial margin. Through time, the greatest differences in Paleoindian land use and technology occur between the Younger Dryas and early Holocene.

The Earth sciences have played a key role in understanding the origins and subsequent development of the first American cultures (“Paleoindians”), a broad and often contentious topic in archaeology. Geoarchaeological approaches used to understand the peopling of North America are equally broad at a range of spatial scales. At subcontinental scales, geoarchaeological research revolves around lowered seas levels and fluctuating glacier margins. Modeling sea‐level changes and the high‐precision dating of ice retreat over Canada is helping to understand the environmental conditions, route(s), and timing of the earliest human entry into and colonization of North America. Stratigraphy, a fundamental principle in both archaeology and geology, first established the antiquity and chronology of the earliest artifact assemblages by demonstrating clear association of artifacts and Pleistocene fauna. Many Paleoindian sites also yielded stratigraphic records with evidence of markedly different depositional environments in the past. The ancient fauna and the striking contrasts between past and present depositional environments has long attracted the attention of archaeologists and Earth scientists alike because of the paleoenvironmental implications. Reconstructing the evolution of paleo‐lakes and paleo‐wetlands is aiding in the understanding of ancient landscapes and their evolution. These landscape‐scale studies and micromorphology also provide insights into Paleoindian subsistence.
