This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the prehistoric transition from egalitarian to ranked social structure at Kitselas Canyon, Skeena River, British Columbia. It contributes to archaeological theory by developing and testing a model of the evolution of cultural complexity. A culture historical contribution is also made in the development of a prehistoric local sequence for Kitselas Canyon.

Download or read book Late Palaeo Indian Great Lakes written by Lawrence J. Jackson and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Articles by prominent archaeologists and geological scientists shed new light on the late Palaeo-Indian cultures of the Great Lakes during a time of staggering environmental change and challenge, as the ice sheets retreated northward. The human response to the dramatic environmental upheaval produced unique cultural patterns, which we are just beginning to understand.

Download or read book Siliceous Rocks and Prehistory written by Christophe Delage and published by British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited. This book was released on 2003 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The published evidence on lithic raw material procurement in prehistoric times that has been gathered since the nineteenth century is presented in many languages, and is available in both local and international journals. Nowadays, it appears quite overwhelming, almost impossible, to grasp the full extent of research regarding this topic. Publications on methodological grounds or on the synthesis of specific geographical areas have inevitably provided limited scope for reflection and discussion. This volume offers a reference that can provide the 'raw material' for scholars interested in furthering their understanding of prehistoric economic strategies of lithic procurement and exploitation. It is the result of several years collecting bibliographical references. Publications ranging from a simple mention of a few raw materials present at a specific site to detailed studies of lithic sourcing and procurement strategies or the geo-archaeological assessment of chert available in a particular region, have been taken into consideration.
Download or read book Lithic Raw Material Variability and the Reduction of Short term use Implements written by Harry Joseph Lerner and published by British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited. This book was released on 2007 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chipped stone tools are a truly dynamic medium of material culture. From initial reduction to contemporary excavation, lithic artifacts undergo continuous change. The role of the properties of raw materials in determining rates of use-wear accrual is poorly understood and has rarely been assessed quantitatively. This study offers such quantification regarding four materials exploited for the production of short-term use implements at the Late Archaic FA2-13 site located just outside the city of Farmington, New Mexico. Both experimental and archaeological use-wear evidence was assessed in separate but related ways. Digital image analysis of use-wear invasiveness using ClemexVision PE and GIS analysis of use-wear homogeneity using Idrisi Kilimanjaro yielded distinct but highly complementary results. Direct testing of material properties of non-archaeological samples using a Hysitron Triboindenter served to further clarify these findings in terms of the complex relationship between raw material surfacehardness and roughness. The results of the present study show that there are significant differences between rates of wear accrual among the four materials. Analysis of tools from FA2-13 indicates that while scraping activities likely did predominate, it may also be feasible to generate more detailed assessments regarding the kinds of scraping activities that were undertaken and the respective intensities with which they were performed. This increased insight can then be extrapolated for application to long-term use technologies and their more complex life histories.

Download or read book Interpreting Long term Trends in the Transition to Farming written by Lisa Kathryn Rankin and published by BAR International Series. This book was released on 2000 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a period of as little as 350 years the inhabitants of Bruce County, Ontario, underwent significant changes in lifestyle, from mobile hunter-gatherers living in small family units, to the development of a sedentary farming community in the village of Nodwell. This report discusses and challenges the colonisation/migration models for this transformation and instead assesses long-term processes and events taking place, changes in settlement patterns, material, cultural and subsistence behaviour.
