Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Procedures by which archaeological stone tools have been analyzed have tradition ally operated on an apprenticeship model, whereby a novice acquires competency at the elbow of a grizzled but revered expert in the field. After shuffling through literally thousands of stones and asking hundreds of questions, the neophite even tually reaches a level at which he or she can fly solo, requiring less and less attention from the Master. While this pedagogical model has been frequently tried and tested, it is not always the most efficient method, it is very labor-intensive, and it requires a resident lithics expert, a situation that often does not exist in reality.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book was awarded the 2005 SAA Award for Excellence in Archaeological Analysis.

The book will be an incomparable source for academic archaeologists, cultural resource and heritage management archaeologists, government heritage agencies, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students of archaeology focused on the prehistoric period.…
