tions. This report reiterates several well-known interpretations concerning Blackwater Draw. First, the reliable associations of Clovis artifacts with mammoth and bison kills are clarified. Second, these lithic tool kits are shown to have been transported to this location with an emphasis on mobility in their design and organization of technology. Third, land-use changes are suggested by contrasts in lithic raw material preferences. The Folsom assemblage is strongly dominated by Edwards flint while raw materials in the Clovis assemblage are more diverse and often include Alibates agate. This analysis also documents evidence of other important shifts in technological organization with Folsom showing greater emphasis in portable toolkits and raw material conservation. Experimental investigation of Clovis projectile point hafting technology also is presented with worthy suggestions concerning the potential use of beveled bone rods as components of toggling harpoons and mounting stone points with socketed hafting clips. Importantly, Boldurian and Cotter remind us that Paleoindian groups may have been attracted to Blackwater Draw because it was a relatively stable watering hole on the semi-arid grasslands of the Southern High Plains. As such, it provided a key location for early hunter-gatherer groups for at least a few thousand years.
