Book Synopsis Hunter-gatherer Specialised Subsistence Strategies in Greece During the Upper Palaeolithic from the Perspective of Lithic Technology by : Paraskevi Elefanti
Download or read book Hunter-gatherer Specialised Subsistence Strategies in Greece During the Upper Palaeolithic from the Perspective of Lithic Technology written by Paraskevi Elefanti and published by British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited. This book was released on 2003 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addressing the question of whether economically specialised sites had specialised lithic technologies, Elefanti draws on evidence from three broadly contemporary sites in north-west and southern Greece. Defining Klithi as a seasonally-occupied and possibly specialised site and Kastrista and Franchthi as sites with access to a diverse range of resources and more favourable conditions for longterm occupation, lithic evidence from the three is reassessed and compared. The theoret ical and methodological premises of the research are clearly laid out and Elefanti concludes by stating that either Klithi is not truly representative of a specialised site, or there are no discernible differences in lithic technology between the two site types.

Book Synopsis Origins and Revolutions by : Clive Gamble
Download or read book Origins and Revolutions written by Clive Gamble and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-26 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study Clive Gamble presents and questions two of the most famous descriptions of change in prehistory. The first is the 'human revolution', when evidence for art, music, religion and language first appears. The second is the economic and social revolution of the Neolithic period. Gamble identifies the historical agendas behind 'origins research' and presents a bold alternative to these established frameworks, relating the study of change to the material basis of human identity. He examines, through artefact proxies, how changing identities can be understood using embodied material metaphors and in two major case-studies charts the prehistory of innovations, asking, did agriculture really change the social world? This is an important and challenging book that will be essential reading for every student and scholar of prehistory.

Book Synopsis Aurignacian Lithic Economy by : Brooke S. Blades
Download or read book Aurignacian Lithic Economy written by Brooke S. Blades and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing data from a classic region for Paleolithic research in Europe, this book explores how early modern humans obtained lithic raw materials and analyzes the different utilization patterns for locally available materials compared with those from a greater distance. The author locates these patterns within an ecological context and argues that early modern humans selected specific mobility strategies to accommodate changes in subsistence environments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an archaeologist with primary research and training experience in North American arid lands, I have always found the European Stone Age remote and impenetrable. My initial introduction, during a survey course on world prehis tory, established that (for me, at least) it consisted of more cultures, dates, and named tool types than any undergraduate ought to have to remember. I did not know much, but I knew there were better things I could be doing on a Saturday night. In any event, after that I never seriously entertained any notion of pur suing research on Stone Age Europe-that course was enough for me. That's a pity, too, because Paleolithic Europe-especially in the late Pleistocene and early Holocene-was the scene of revolutionary human adaptive change. Iron ically, all of it was amenable to investigation using precisely the same models and analytical tools I ended up spending the better part of two decades applying in the Great Basin of western North America. Back then, of course, few were thinking about the late Paleolithic or Me solithic in such terms. Typology, classification, and chronology were the order of the day, as the text for my undergraduate course reflected. Jochim evidently bridled less than I at the task of mastering these chronotaxonomic mysteries, yet he was keenly aware of their limitations-in particular, their silence on how individual assemblages might be connected as part of larger regional subsis tence-settlement systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perspectives on the Past shows how knowledge of the past is contingent and is largely determined by the social and intellectual milieu in which those who study it have received their training. In the original essays that comprise the volume, field archaeologists discuss their own biases and the effects these biases have on the way they conduct their research on hunter-gatherers in the Mediterranean.

Book Synopsis Late Archaic Hunter-gatherer Lithic Technology and Function (chipped Stone, Ground Stone, and Fire-cracked Rock) by : Fernanda Neubauer
Download or read book Late Archaic Hunter-gatherer Lithic Technology and Function (chipped Stone, Ground Stone, and Fire-cracked Rock) written by Fernanda Neubauer and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My doctoral research highlights the complicated trajectories of hunter-gatherers by offering a case study from an understudied but rich hunter-gatherer landscape, the Late Archaic period (c. 5,000-2,000 BP) on Grand Island, Michigan. My analysis of 39,186 lithics from five sites on the island more than doubles the current number of c. 32,000 lithics analyzed in the entire Michigan0́9s Upper Peninsula from dated Late Archaic sites. In order to investigate how people made decisions related to domestic life, foodways, technology, settlement patterns, seasonal mobility, and landscape interactions on Grand Island, my study integrates multiple lines of evidence 0́4 chipped stone, ground stone, fire-cracked rock, artifact spatial distribution analysis, faunal, floral, and lipid residue analyses 0́4 to portray a thorough picture of ancient daily life in the region. The primary research objective is focused on identifying domestic life and mobility practices on Grand Island during the Late Archaic period and understanding how these patterns may reflect the strategies of local communities. I suggest that Grand Island represented an important place in the landscape for ancient peoples who repeatedly utilized the island for seasonal social aggregations during autumn to process foods communally in relatively larger scales. Because organic remains are poorly preserved in the region, fire-cracked rock (FCR) is key to investigating ancient diets and how foods were processed and cooked. Although FCRs dominate the Late Archaic assemblage on Grand Island and are found in great quantities at hunter-gatherer sites around the world, FCRs remain an understudied analytical artifact type. I conducted FCR experiments and developed a methodology to analyze FCRs with the purpose of identifying the general signatures of various thermal alteration patterns. My results indicate great inter-site variability among FCR characteristics, cooking methods, and cooking facilities at the studied sites. The larger goal of this study is to contribute to a new appreciation of FCR beyond current approaches that are often limited to basic quantification or presence/absence reporting. The recontextualization of FCR proposed in this dissertation could lead scholars investigating hunter-gatherer sites worldwide to a better understanding of the ancient diets and behaviors associated with food production and site formation processes.
