About: Apex complex

An Entity of Type: Food, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Apex complex is a cultural tradition of the Middle Archaic period. Apex complex artifacts, dated from about 3000 to 500 BC, first appeared in the Magic Mountain site near Apex Creek in Colorado. The Irwins, archaeologists at Magic Mountain, believe that the artifacts are from ancestors of Puebloan people of the American southwest. The cultural complex is distinguished by its Apex projectile points, which were noted for the increase in their frequency as one starts from the bottom to the top zone of the Magic Mountain site. Discovered tools also included scrapers, choppers, and leaf-shaped bifaces, which may have been used as knives.

dbo:abstract
  • El complex Apex és una tradició cultural del període Arcaic mitjà. Els artefactes del complex Apex daten d'aproximadament 3000-500 aC i van aparèixer per primera vegada al prop d'Apex Creek a Colorado. Els Irwins, arqueòlegs en Magic Mountain, creuen que els artefactes són d'avantpassats dels antics Anasazi del sud-oest dels Estats Units. El complex cultural es distingeix per les seves punxes de projectil Apex. L'evidència d'un parell de tombes suggereix que els enterraments es feien vora la zona on vivien, coberts de pedres i lloses elaborades. (ca)

Discovered tools also included scrapers, choppers, and leaf-shaped bifaces, which may have been used as knives. Evidence of a few grave sites suggest that burials were conducted near their living areas, covered with stones and milling slabs. The functions and implications of the excavated artifacts, particularly the projectile points, are still not clearly understood. It is also noted that the characteristics of the projectiles reflect a parallel technological developments found in San Jose and northern New Mexico. (en)
