Anthropological Perspectives on Technology (review)
There is a vast sweep of human existence to which anthropological approaches to technology are potentially relevant. Testifying to its consequentiality and yet very limited coherence are the fourteen highly diverse chapters of this volume edited by Michael Brian Schiffer. To be sure, Schiffer himself has a considerably narrower, personal view of its very broad subject matter--one in which technology itself seems almost to emerge at times not as a…

I was delighted with Ronald Jager's excellent article "Tool and Symbol: The Success of the Double-Bitted Axe in North America" (October 1999) but surprised that he failed to mention that other native innovation, the curved axe helve with the flared butt to check the grip at the end of each stroke.

Fabric Impressions of Pottery from the Elizabeth Herrell Site, Missouri
A large quantity of fabric impressed pottery was found during the excavation of the Elizabeth Herreli Site in Jefferson County, Missouri, by the Academy of Science of St. Louis.Inasmuch as variations in weaving technique have proven of value in distinguishing and in indicating the connection between ethnic groups this study has been made in an effort to aid archaeologists in comparing the finds at the Herreli Site with the results of other expedi…
Diagnostic Flint Points
Several valuable classifications of flint points have been formulated but few of these have attempted to distinguish between those points having diagnostic value, and the numerous forms which are found rather indiscriminately over a large series of cultures and which may or may not have value as cultural determinants. Points which have been used by archaeologists as diagnostic determinants seem to be inseparably connected with distribution studie…
Implements from Lake Mohave
Archaeological reconnaisance work along the ancient shore lines of desiccated Lake Mohave, located south of Death Valley in California, has been interpreted by Mr. and Mrs. Campbell and their associates. Groups of implements were found along the old beach line located above the present playa. These were found at approximately the same vertical elevation. Most geologists, including D. G. Thompson, O. E. Meinzer, and E. Antevs, are concurrent in th…
