9780391008366 - Stone Tools As Cultural Markers: Change, Evolution and Complexity (Prehistory and Material Culture Series, No. 12) (1 Ergebnisse)

Very good paperback copy, a couple of spots to the edge of the page block, a little fading to the cover, but contents sound, complete and unmarked. Paperback. 8.5" x 11". 400pp. Very well illustrated with maps, charts, drawings and photographs. Comprehensive in its field. Stone tools are the world's most common archeological artefacts and often the only surviving ones. They have been used to infer human presence in remote geological periods, patterns of trade and cultural diffusion, technological adaptation, cultural evolution and the economic basis of their makers. In this volume are archeological studies as well as first-hand ethnographic reports of field work carried out in Australia and Papua New Guinea among users of stone implements.
