Current Research Status of the Hipwater Locale: A Parkhill Phase Paleoindian Retooling Location

William A. Lovis, Professor of Anthropology, Department of Anthropology, and Curator of Anthropology, MSU Museum, at Michigan State University

The Hipwater Locale is a small Parkhill phase Paleoindian site, or one part of a larger site, located in south central Michigan. There is a limited assemblage of fluted Barnes bifaces, unfluted bifaces, core fragments, and fire cracked rock, with at least one major group of refits. The site location and the small assemblage were subjected to a range of different analyses, including interpretation of site location and integrity, stages of organization of lithic reduction, protein residue analysis, microwear analysis, and pXRF elemental analysis of tool stone sources. Current outcomes of these various analyses are reported and a preliminary synthesis will be undertaken.
