"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…
"This practical volume does not intend to replace a mentor, but acts as a reality accessible guide to the basic tools of lithic analysis that a researcher can consult. Some focuses of the manual include: history of stone tool research, procurement, manufacture, and function; and…
