摘要：

In the American Southeast, the most widely cited chronologies place the first appearance of stemmed-based points at the onset of the Middle Holocene (similar to 8200 calendar years ago), much later in comparison to the Great Basin and Pacific Northwest, where stemmed points appear to be co-eval with the Clovis culture (similar to 13,000 calendar years ago), or even older. However, the stemmed "Jude" point found in northern and central Mississippi may be an exception from the American Southeast that pre-dates the Middle Holocene. Here, we briefly review the available information on the chronological position of stemmed bifaces in the region and report the results of recent excavations from the Hester site (22MO569) in Amory, Mississippi, where Jude points have been recovered from a dated, Early Holocene context. Consequently, we argue that this type may be among the earliest stemmed varieties in the American Southeast.
