- Abstract
Eroadaway represents a Late Glacial campsite, circa 12,600 cal bp, in the subalpine zone of the central Alaska Range. Reassessment of radiocarbon dates indicates that the age of the site is nearly 2800 years older than originally reported and places the reassessed age of the Eroadaway occupation in the Younger Dryas chronozone (12,900 to 11,700 cal bp). Eroadaway is viewed as a short-duration seasonal hunting camp where the maintenance and production of bifacial tools were the dominant activities. The site's distinctive thin bifacial projectile point technology is analyzed in terms of production technique and subsistence strategy, and a projectile point hafting model based on the Eroadaway points is proposed.
