Stone Tools in the Paleolithic and Neolithic Near East: A Guide
surveys the lithic record for the East Mediterranean Levant
(Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Jordan, and adjacent territories) from the
earliest times to 6,500 years ago. It is intended both as an
introduction to this lithic evidence for students and as a resource
for researchers working with Paleolithic and Neolithic stone tool
evidence. Written by a lithic analyst and professional
flintknapper, this book systematically examines variation in
technology, typology, and industries for the Lower, Middle, and
Upper Paleolithic; the Epipaleolithic; and Neolithic periods in the
Near East. It is extensively illustrated with drawings of stone
tools. In addition to surveying the lithic evidence, the book also
considers ways in which archaeological treatment of this evidence
could be changed to make it more relevant to major issues in human
origins research. A final chapter shows how change in stone tool
designs points to increasing human dependence on stone tools across
the long sweep of Stone Age prehistory.
