Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Polished Stone Articles, Vol. 4: Used by the New York Aborigines Before and During European Occupation In considering polished stone articles as a class, it is necessary to divide some departments, as pipes, ornaments, and vessels Of various kinds, much alike in form and use, but not in material. The modes of manufacturing these, however, are sometimes so different that no farther excuse need be made. Clay and stone specially mark eras in human progress. Under this head will also be included picked implements, for picking was commonly part Of the process Of forming polished articles, which are found in all stages Of development. The picked implement was rarely finished. Sometimes grinding was the first act Of all, but not in general. A few stones, naturally formed for use, might receive an edge at once. More commonly they were chipped, picked and polished as time or needs permitted. This is most frequently seen in the case Of celts and gouges, where the same site may yield every gradation, from the rudest to the finest. And sometimes unite every process in one implement.

Download or read book Landscape in the Longue Dur e written by Christopher Tilley and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pebbles are usually found only on the beach, in the liminal space between land and sea. But what happens when pebbles extend inland and create a ridge brushing against the sky? Landscape in the Longue Durée is a 4,000 year history of pebbles. It is based on the results of a four-year archaeological research project of the east Devon Pebblebed heathlands, a fascinating and geologically unique landscape in the UK whose bedrock is composed entirely of water-rounded pebbles. Christopher Tilley uses this landscape to argue that pebbles are like no other kind of stone – they occupy an especial place both in the prehistoric past and in our contemporary culture. It is for this reason that we must re-think continuity and change in a radically new way by considering embodied relations between people and things over the long term. Dividing the book into two parts, Tilley first explores the prehistoric landscape from the Mesolithic to the end of the Iron Age, and follows with an analysis of the same landscape from the eighteenth into the twenty-first century. The major findings of the four-year study are revealed through this chronological journey: from archaeological discoveries, such as the excavation of three early Bronze Age cairns, to the documentation of all 829 surviving pebble structures, and beyond, to the impact of the landscape on local economies and its importance today as a military training camp. The results of the study will inform many disciplines including archaeology, cultural and art history, anthropology, conservation, and landscape studies.
