Editorial Reviews
Review
"...provides project ideas for advanced students of lithic analysis." Society for Archaeological Sciences Bulletin
"Lithics joins other useful titles in the Cambridge Manuals series. It is written expressly for students and teachers of lithic analysis and will serve this audience well. It is more a text than a broad critical review of the field, but Lithics also rewards reading by practitioners." Journal of Anthropological Research
"We have needed a book like this for a long time, and this volume should be widely used both for classes in basic lithic analysis (for which there is no other text) and by students struggling with more osmotic approaches to learning about lithic analysis." Geoarchaeology
Product Description
This is the first comprehensive manual on stone artifact analysis. Logically ordered, clearly written and well illustrated, it is designed for students and professional archaeologists. It introduces the reader to lithic raw materials, and the classification of stone artifacts, basic terminology and concepts, and explains the various methods and techniques of analysis. The final section illustrates their application through detailed case studies of lithic analysis from different parts of the world.
