Stone Axe Morphology and Distribution in Neolithic Britain, Parts i and ii
Alternative Sources in Regional Exchange Systems: A Gravity Model Approach
The influence of alternative sources on patterns of abundance of exchanged goods within a region is investigated. A gravity model is developed, which predicts relative abundance of goods from each source at each site in the region. Results of the application of this model to an ethnographic example indicate that observed patterns of abundance of exchanged goods which seem anomalous in terms of previously proposed models of exchange distributions …
Thermal Alteration of Silica Materials in Technological and Functional Perspective
This paper summarizes the characteristics, causes, and identification criteria of heat alteration in silica materials. The costs and benefits of alteration imply that only the production and function of certain tools would profit from heat treatment. A collection of Formative Peruvian tools confirms that prehistoric technologists responded to similar factors when deciding to use altered materials. Altered chert is an alternative, but not always s…
Thermal Alteration in Mesolithic Assemblages
Experimental, analytical, and archaeological evidence is presented to describe the characteristics of thermal alteration in mesolithic assemblages from the northern Netherlands. Experiments, both in the field and in the laboratory, have established the sequence of changes that occur when flint is subjected to heat. Analytical techniques involving the scanning electron microscope and thermoluminescence analysis are used in an attempt to recognize …
