A multivariate study of approximately 1,500 ground stone tools
(celts) from the Coast Salishan cultural area of British Columbia,
Canada, forms the basis of this book. The traditional and often
unthinking quest to find types within this largely unclassified
class of material formed the starting point to the author's work.
When statistical methods failed to discriminate betweenn
typological groups, Mackie was forced to think more creatively
about the behavioural environment of their use., especially how
use-life would alter shape. This book is therefore both a study of
stone tools and an exploration into archaeological systematics
which problematises the manic classificatory zeal which is such a
peculiar feature of most archaeologists.
