ABSTRACT
The Buffalo Ranch site (41BU119) is located along the Brazos River in Burleson County, Texas, under 10 m of late Quaternary alluvium. Here, Wilson and Big Sandy projectile points were found in natural levee sediments. Three calibrated radiocarbon ages place the site between 9424 and 9666 cal yr BP. Buffalo Ranch adds to our understanding of the late Pleistocene-early Holocene transitional period of this region, providing important information on the ages of these projectile-point forms.
