Abstract
This paper summarizes the results of a pilot study of the ethnographic and ethnohistorical literature designed to address certain questions concerning the use of stone projectile tips. The term “tip” as employed herein includes not just formal “points” in a descriptive sense, but any projectile weaponry armed with a stone component as tip and/or cutting edge. Variability in such projectile tips has long been used to arrange archaeological assemblages in time and space and there have been several attempts in recent years to explain this variability in terms of factors such as changing hunting strategies (e. g., Chris-tenson 1986, 1987; Friis-Hansen 1990; Judge 1974; Odell and Cowan 1986; Shott 1989, 1993). While the present study will shed some light on the causes of stone point variability, I am concerned primarily here with the more basic question of why stone tips should be used at all as opposed to similar items made on organic materials such as wood, bone, or antler. This question has long been recognized as being of importance (e. g., Hayden 1978:183; Jelinek 1971:19), but has rarely been addressed. At a minimum, a knowledge of these conditions should be useful in two major ways.
