This book was originally published in 1984. For over a million
years rocks provided human beings with the essential raw materials
for the production of tools. Nevertheless we still know very little
about the behaviour and processes that resulted in the creation of
archaeological sites at or near lithic quarries. In the past
archaeologists have placed much emphasis on the process of
'exchange' in their analysis of prehistoric economies while largely
ignoring the sources of the exchanged objects. However, with the
development of interest in the means of production, these sites
have begun to take on a new significance. Prehistoric Quarries and
Lithic Production is the first systematic study of archaeological
sites that served as quarries for stone tools. Its theoretical and
methodological importance will extend its appeal beyond those
archaeologists concerned with lithic technology and prehistoric
exchange systems to archaeologists and anthropologists in general
and to geographers and geologists.
