Tossup
This culture is compared to the contemporaneous Western Stemmed tradition in a study by Charlotte Beck and George T. Jones that discusses the “Meeting of Two Technologies.” The Lehner site contained fire-hearths from this culture, which allowed for its radiocarbon dating. An individual with Y-chromosome haplogroup Q-L54 was buried with stone and antler tools, covered in red ocher, at this culture’s Anzick site. The older site of Monte Verde II serves as evidence against the “[this culture]-first” model, according to which they entered their continent by a land bridge. The Folsom culture succeeded this culture, which produced namesake fluted, lanceolate (“LAN-see-oh-lit”) projectile points. For 10 points, name this prehistoric culture of North America, whose type-site is Blackwater Draw in New Mexico. ■END■
