Pressure Microblade Industries in Pleistocene-Holocene Interior Alaska: Current Data and Discussions

International audience"Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene sites in Alaska have obvious ties with the Siberian Late Palaeolithic based on the presence of pressure microblade production. The study of these sites and their corresponding lithic assemblages is essential to our understanding of the peopling of the New World, especially when considering the significance of Swan Point and its lower microblade-bearing layer (currently the earliest reliably dated human occupation documented in Alaska)."
