Round 10: Tossup 7

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, (10[1])according to which they entered their continent by a land bridge. The Folsom culture succeeded this culture, which produced (10[1])namesake fluted, (10[1])lanceolate (“LAN-see-oh-lit”) projectile points. For 10 points, name this prehistoric culture of North America, (-5[1])whose type-site is Blackwater Draw in New Mexico. ■END■ (0[5])

ANSWER: Clovis culture [accept Clovis-first model; accept Clovis points; prompt on Paleo-Indians] (The Q-L54 haplogroup is one of two “major founding Y-chromosome lineages of the Americas.”)
