Lithics 'Down Under': Australian Perspectives on Lithic Reduction, Use and Classification (British Archaeological Reports International, 1408)

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 125 pages : illustrations, maps ; 30 cm. This monograph takes a new look at various aspects of stone artefact analysis that reveal important and exciting new information about the past, and in particular Australian perspectives on lithics. The ten papers making up this volume tackle a number ofissues that have long been at the heart of archaeology's problematic relationship with stone artefacts, including our understanding of the dynamic nature of past stone working practices, the utility of traditional classificatory schemes, and ways to unlock the vast amount of information about the strategic role of lithic technology that resides in stone artefact assemblages. The dominant theme of this monograph is the pursuit of new ways of characterising the effects of manufacturing and susbsistence behaviour on stone artefact assemblages. Artikel-Nr. BAR1408
