Book excerpt: "Tool Stone Found at South Dakota Archaeological Sites is a guide to raw stone materials (tool stone) used to create stone implements, such as weapons, ornaments, or other objects, found at archaeological sites in South Dakota. The guide describes the geologic context and characteristics of 29 types of tool stone, including cherts, chalcedonies, quartzites, catlinite, red pipestone, obsidian, porcellanite, non-volcanic natural glass, and quartz. The materials are found in South Dakota, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, and Wyoming. An overview of the preferred name, other names, Munsell colors, known quarries or procurement sites, grain size, cortex, fracture qualities, and diagnostic traits, is followed by a description, photographs of examples, and a map showing the general location where the material is found."--Back cover.

Download or read book Flintknapping written by John C. Whittaker and published by Univ of TX + ORM. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed, practical guide to the ancient craft of making stone tools, featuring an archaeological analysis. Flintknapping is an ancient craft enjoying a resurgence of interest among both amateur and professional students of prehistoric cultures. In this guide, John C. Whittaker offers the most detailed handbook on flintknapping currently available and the only one written from the archaeological perspective of interpreting stone tools as well as making them. Flintknapping contains detailed, practical information on making stone tools. Whittaker starts at the beginner level and progresses to discussion of a wide range of techniques. He includes information on necessary tools and materials, as well as step-by-step instructions for making several basic stone tool types. Numerous diagrams allow the reader to visualize the flintknapping process, and drawings of many stone tools illustrate the discussions and serve as models for beginning knappers. Written for a wide amateur and professional audience, Flintknapping will be essential for practicing knappers as well as for teachers of the history of technology, experimental archaeology, and stone tool analysis. “A mid-range user’s guide to flintknapping is long overdue. There have been some admirable attempts to produce such a volume, but these have been targeted at specific, fairly narrow audiences. Not so with Flintknapping. . . . [Whittaker’s] clear aim is to reach professional archaeologists as well as hobbyists. I believe he achieves this goal with incredible skill and humor. . . . I highly recommend this book to everyone interested in flintknapping.” —Plains Anthropologist “Very attractive to readers interested in ancient crafts, survival skills, or the history of technology . . . . Far superior to anything currently available.” —James C. Woods, director, The Herrett Museum, College of Southern Idaho

Download or read book Understanding Chipped Stone Tools written by Brian Hayden and published by Eliot Werner Publications. This book was released on 2022-06-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a unique and engaging book on prehistoric stone tools. It advocates an experiential approach in which analysts try to understand stone tool designs from the users' perspectives, and employs a universal logic of designing tools to solve practical problems and evaluating various possible solutions. However, to do so it is also necessary to understand how stone can be mechanically modified to serve specific functions. The author enlists a rich array of ethnographic observations and considerable background as a flintknapper to show the basic ways in which stones can be flaked and modified and what these characteristics can reveal about prehistoric problem-solving strategies and design constraints. This is an invaluable primer for anyone contemplating the study of prehistoric stone tools."

Download or read book Across Atlantic Ice written by Dennis J. Stanford and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Who were the first humans to inhabit North America? According to the now familiar story, mammal hunters entered the continent some 12,000 years ago via a land bridge that spanned the Bering Sea and introduced the distinctive stone tools of the Clovis culture. Drawing from original archaeological analysis, paleoclimatic research, and genetic studies, noted archaeologists Dennis J. Stanford and Bruce A. Bradley challenge that narrative. Their hypothesis places the technological antecedents of Clovis technology in Europe, with the culture of Solutrean people in France and Spain more than 20,000 years ago, and posits that the first Americans crossed the Atlantic by boat and arrived earlier than previously thought."--Back cover.
