Abstract Ripley P. Bullen's "A Guide to the Identification of Florida Projectile Points," remains the most important reference on Florida projectile points. The "Guide" was published in 1969 and revised in 1975. Since 1975 several works of similar content and expanded scope have been published. All still rely heavily upon and frequently reference the "Guide." This thesis considers Florida and regional research bearing on the precereamic lithic bifacial types proposed by Bullen. Utilizing calibrated radiocarbon dates a modern temporal placement is suggested for Bullen's as well as newly recoginized or proposed Florida types. Typologically, preceramic Florida types believed to share developmental relationships are grouped into seven type-clusters.
