This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 1246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the following pages I purpose to give an account of the various forms of stone implements, weapons, and ornaments of remote antiquity discovered in Great Britain, their probable uses and method of manufacture, and also, in some instances, the circumstances of their discovery. While reducing the whole series into some sort of classification, as has been done for the stone antiquities of Scandinavia by Worsaae, Montelius, and Sophus Müller, for those of France by Messrs. Gabriel and Adrien de Mortillet, and for those of Ireland by Sir William Wilde, I hope to add something to our knowledge of this branch of Archæology by instituting comparisons, where possible, between the antiquities of England and Scotland and those of other parts of the world. Nor in considering the purposes to which the various forms were applied, and the method of their manufacture, must I neglect to avail myself of the illustrations afforded by the practice of modern savages, of which Sir John Lubbock and others have already made such profitable use. But before commencing any examination of special forms, there are some few general considerations on which it seems advisable to enter, if only in a cursory manner; and this is the more necessary, since notwithstanding the attention which has now for many years been devoted to Prehistoric Antiquities, there is seemingly still some misapprehension remaining as to the nature and value of the conclusions based upon recent archæological and geological investigations. At the risk therefore of being tedious, I shall have to notice once more many things already well known to archæologists, but which, it would appear from the misconceptions so often evinced, even by those who speak and write on such matters, can hardly be too often repeated. Not the least misunderstood of these subjects has been the classification of the antiquities of Western Europe, first practically adopted by the Danish antiquaries, under periods known as the Iron, Bronze, and Stone Ages; the Iron Age, so far as Denmark is concerned, being supposed to go back to about the Christian era, the Bronze Age to embrace a period of one or two thousand years previous to that date, and the Stone Age all previous time of man’s occupation of that part of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stone tools are the most durable and common type of archaeological remain and one of the most important sources of information about behaviors of early hominins. Stone Tools and the Evolution of Human Cognition develops methods for examining questions of cognition, demonstrating the progression of mental capabilities from early hominins to modern humans through the archaeological record. Dating as far back as 2.5-2.7 million years ago, stone tools were used in cutting up animals, woodworking, and preparing vegetable matter. Today, lithic remains give archaeologists insight into the forethought, planning, and enhanced working memory of our early ancestors. Contributors focus on multiple ways in which archaeologists can investigate the relationship between tools and the evolving human mind-including joint attention, pattern recognition, memory usage, and the emergence of language. Offering a wide range of approaches and diversity of place and time, the chapters address issues such as skill, social learning, technique, language, and cognition based on lithic technology. Stone Tools and the Evolution of Human Cognition will be of interest to Paleolithic archaeologists and paleoanthropologists interested in stone tool technology and cognitive evolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stone Implements of South Africa The object of this little volume is to co-ordinate the various discoveries of Stone Implements that I have made during the last four years - discoveries that I venture to think, mark a new era in our knowledge of the Stone Age of South Africa. No attempt will be made to review the abundant, but unsatisfactory, literature already in existence. The typical Palæolithic (Achoulic) implements are here used as a datum line. All groups below that standard are classed as "Primitive," all groups above it are spoken of as "Advanced." My definition of the terms Eolithic, Palæolithic and Neolithic requires a word of explanation. Although they are now universally employed, the sense in which they are used is very far from uniform. Stone implements like all other things, show a progressive evolution from very primitive to very advanced forms. The terms Eolithic, Palæolithic and Neolithic are expressive of certain stages in that progress. In the restricted sense in which they are used by me the three stages are represented by the groups met with in the plateau gravels, valley-drifts and alluvial flats of the extreme south of Britain respectively. I am glad to have this opportunity to acknowledge my indebtedness to my friend, Professor R. B. Young, of Johannesburg. Many of the more interesting discoveries described herein were made during an expedition as his guest. To him anthropology - of which I account myself a humble student - is under deep obligation. All figures are of the same size as the originals. In this edition I have included some further discoveries and have added a number of new illustrations. The arrangement of the data remains the same, but a closer classification of the different groups has been deemed desirable. I have therefore replaced the somewhat comprehensive terms Primitive, Palæolithic and Advanced, by the current European nomenclature, Eolithic, Strepyic, Palæolithic or Acheulic, Solutric and Neolithic.
