Faunal Extinction in an Island Society
Faunal Extinction in an Island Society: Pygmy Hippopotamus Hunters of Cyprus. Alan H. Simmons and Associates. New York: Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, 1999. 381 pp
Tools Underfoot
A series of eight replication experiments tests the proposition that human trampling of stone flakes can produce edge damage that mimics deliberate retouch. Retouchlike edge damage, breakage, and other forms of macroscopic mechanical damage were observed on large numbers of pieces in all trampled sets. Experiments measured the relative contributions of three variables-raw material, artifact density, and substrate-in generating damage. Results ind…
Maritime Hunter-Gatherers
In a recent discussion of prehistoric developments in coastal Peru, Osborn has drawn attention to the "uniqueness" of the Peruvian littoral in providing large amounts of nutrients to support locally high population densities and a base for the development of Peruvian civilization. This bounteous resource base is contrasted with that of other maritime environments, which are seen to be relatively unproductive. The present article takes issue with …
