Methods for the Analysis of Stone Artefacts (eBook, PDF)

An Overview

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This essential gives an overview of current methods of analysis of stone artefacts ranging from attribute analysis of entire assemblages to microscopic use-wear analyses of individual artefacts. The approaches presented show the range of analysis of prehistoric stone artefacts in German-speaking countries. Simple application examples illustrate the possibilities and limitations of each method. The content and structure of the essentials is identical to teaching units for learning methods of stone artefact analysis at the University of Tübingen in the Department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology.

The content

¿ Attribute, transformation and working stage analysis

¿ Chaîne opératoire approach

¿ Analysis of techno-functional units

¿ Microscopic use-wear analysis

The target groups

¿ Students and lecturers of archaeology and prehistory

¿ Lay people interested in archaeology and stone tools
