What can lithics tell us about hominin technology's ‘primordial soup’? An origin of stone knapping via the emulation of Mother Nature

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S3, Page S8-S30, June 2026.
Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)

What Do Lithics Tell Us About Cultural Evolution? Insights From the Central African Record

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S3, Page S40-S49, June 2026.
ABSTRACT While Western historical narratives often incorporate a biased vision of human evolution—driven by a progressive view tied to a progressively evolving state of culture—this paper proposes combining archaeological lithic data with epistemological reflections to critique the modern regime of historicity, where progress is assumed as rational ...

Digital Transformation of Retail Work: The Rise of Chaotic Rationalisation

open access: yesBritish Journal of Industrial Relations, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 378-393, June 2026.
ABSTRACT We examine how new digital technologies are transforming labour processes in frontline jobs in United States (US) store‐based retail, examining the US as an extreme case of labour market liberalisation. Research on technological change presents three scenarios: job displacement, job enrichment and ‘digital Taylorism’ involving heightened ...
