The Pre-Clovis Occupation of the Topper Site, Allendale County, South Carolina
View through CrossRef
Located in a Pleistocene terrace on the Savannah River, evidence for a Pre-Clovis occupation of the Topper site is presented including radiocarbon and OSL dating of the Pleistocene sediments. Topper is a core and flake technology with numerous examples of small tools such as bend breaks, unifaces, small blades, and abundant lithic debris from chert quarrying. It has been named the Clariant complex. Pre-Clovis at Topper is pre-LGM and one of the oldest sites in the Western Hemisphere.
