This generously illustrated instructional guide explains the
examination and analysis of stone tools and stone-tool sites
anywhere in the world. Lithics expert Brian P. Kooyman explores the
production, function, and context of stone tools to understand how
human cultures used lithic tools at particular sites and to give
readers the practical skills for lithic and site analysis. The
guide covers manufacturing techniques, lithic types and materials,
reduction strategies and techniques, worldwide lithic technology,
production variables, meaning of form, and usewear and residue
analysis. The author draws on extensive field work in North
America, particularly at Head-Smashed-In in Alberta, Canada.
However, the theory, methodology, and analysis applies to the
investigation of stone tools and lithic sites worldwide.
