CLOVIS CACHE WEBSITE

Here’s a link to David Kilby’s Clovis Cache website. Professor Kilby is assistant professor of anthropology and applied archaeology ENMU (Eastern New Mexico University):
His research seeks to shed light on the functions of Clovis caches – especially by comparison of the diverse artefacts within such caches to those recovered from kill and camp sites. To date, he has investigated over 20 Clovis caches from throughout North America. He suggests that caches can be divided into those with ritual significance which were largely not intended to be retrieved and those with utilitarian purposes which always were. Ritual caches are only known from the US Northwest and northern Rockies and may represent a burial tradition local to that region. One cache (Anzick, Montana) was reliably associated with a human burial.
