Dynamic Approaches to Teaching Lithic Technology
Ethnoarchaeology, 2010AbstractAnthropology departments in universities and museums do not always have a staff member trained in flintknapping. This can be problematic because aspects of flaked stone technology can be difficult to illustrate to students and the public without replicative demonstrations. Fortunately, there has been a recent florescence of flintknapping videos

Mckean Lithic Technology at Lightning Spring
Plains Anthropologist, 1993Res. d'A. During the 1980 excavation of the Lightning Spring site in the North Cave Hills of South Dakota, a groupe of Tongue River silicifed sediment bifaces was discovered in one of the deeper McKean levels of the sites. In addition to these bifaces, a large suite of Duncan projectile points was recovered from the four McKean occupations.

Measuring the Complexity of Lithic Technology
Current Anthropology, 2013Assessments of the complexity of lithic technologies coming from different time periods, regions, or hominid species are recurrent features of the literature on Paleolithic archaeology. Yet the notion of lithic complexity is often defined intuitively and qualitatively, which can easily lead to circular arguments and makes difficult the comparison of ...

Palaeoeskimo Lithic Technology: Constraints and Adaptation
Lithic Technology, 2007AbstractThe concept of the chaine operatoire is a practical one when considering complex lithic technology. The concept was conceived through the development of the anthropology of techniques and the psychological sciences. For more than five years; Palaeoeskimo lithic technology in Nunavik (Eastern Arctic) was examined following this concept, which ...

Rethinking Emireh Cave: The lithic technology perspectives
Quaternary International, 2018Abstract The Emiran is the earliest technocomplex within the Levantine Upper Palaeolithic sequence. It was defined after biased lithic assemblages from el-Wad and Emireh caves by Dorothy Garrod. The term Emiran was further adopted and was incorporated into a broader definition known as the Initial Upper Palaeolithic (IUP) that is commonly used as a ...

Lithic technology of Mujina pećina
2015Mujina pećina, located in Dalmatia, Croatia, is the only systematically excavated and well- dated Middle Palaeolithic cave site in coastal Croatia. The stratigraphic sequence covers the period between 45 and 39 uncalibrated years ka and consists of layers B, C, D1 and D2, from which the lithic artifacts have already been analyzed technologically, and ...

Abstract This chapter concerns lithic technology during the Mesolithic with a focus on northern Europe. Methodological aspects on how to study lithic technology are addressed, with emphasis on the chaîne opératoire, and the lithic craft tradition of the Mesolithic is addressed in light of social theory. An analysis of the two main lithic

Lithic Technological Systems and Evolutionary Theory
2015Stone tool analysis relies on a strong background in analytical and methodological techniques. However, lithic technological analysis has not been well integrated with a theoretically informed approach to understanding how humans procured, made, and used stone tools. Evolutionary theory has great potential to fill this gap.

Lithic Technology Conference, Les Eyzies, France
American Antiquity, 1965AbstractIn 1964, a conference of American and French prehistorians explored the techniques of manufacture of chipped-stone artifacts. The conference was held at Les Eyzies, France, and included sessions in which implements were manufactured and discussion sessions in which artifact collections were evaluated in terms of observable evidences of ...

Ethnoarchaeology and the Organization of Lithic Technology
Journal of Archaeological Research, 2012Although the modern production and use of stone tools is rare, ethnoarchaeological research on this subject has provided important perspectives on methodological approaches to archaeological lithic analysis. Recent ethnoarchaeological research on lithics frequently takes the form of “cautionary tales,” warning against the primacy of functional ...
