Human development is a long and steady process that began with
stone tool making. Because of this skill, humans were able to adapt
to climate changes, discover new territories, and invent new
technologies. "Pressure knapping" is the common term for one method
of creating stone tools, where a larger device or blade
specifically made for this purpose is use to press out the stone
tool. Pressure knapping was invented in different locations and at
different points in time, representing the adoption of the
Neolithic way of life in the Old world.
Recent research on pressure knapping has led for the first time
to a global thesis on this technique. The contributors to this
seminal work combine research findings on pressure knapping from
different cultures around the globe to develope a cohesive theory.
This contributions to this volume represents a significant
development to research on pressure knapping, as well as the field
of lithic studies in general.
This work will be an important reference for anyone studying the
Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods, lithic studies,
technologies, and more generally, cultural transmission.
