| Zusammenfassung: | The life history of stone tools is intimately linked to tool production, use,
and maintenance. These are important processes in the organization of
lithic technology, or the manner in which lithic technology is embedded
within human organizational strategies of land use and subsistence
practices. This volume brings together essays that measure the life history
of stone tools relative to retouch values, raw material constraints,
and evolutionary processes. Collectively, they explore the association of
technological organization with facets of tool form such as reduction
sequences, tool production effort, artifact curation processes, and retouch
measurement. Data sets cover a broad geographic and temporal span,
including examples from France during the Paleolithic, the Near East
during the Neolithic, and other regions such as Mongolia, Australia, and
Italy. North American examples are derived from Paleoindian times to
historic period aboriginal populations throughout the United States and
Canada. |
