Communities of Hope: Sharing Economies and the Production of Material Worlds
Experimental production of lithic artefacts: Developing understanding; developing engagement
This paper is reflective and discusses the results of a process experiment designed to develop understanding of a particular British Early Upper Palaeolithic stone tool technology. The technology in question is the Lincombian, and the discussion breaks down into three main parts. The first part argues that raw material availability and practitioner performance can be influential factors within the modern experimental reproduction process. When th…
Introduction: Immersed in Lithics
The idea of holding a conference to discuss how we can explore what affects our approaches to, and understanding of, lithic artefacts and their analysis emerged from a hands-on workshop entitled Northern Knap-in in November 2014. In that workshop we wanted to explore how prehistoric people in the north of England, which is perceived by many as being a (lithic)resource-poor region, might have adapted to the lack of good quality flint and chert for…
Material Culture, Behavior, and Identity: The Human Body as Experiential Nexus
It has been argued that when examining hunter-gatherer archaeology from the millennial past, objects recovered may not make sense to us within our own modern materialist and sedentary context. In response this note makes a close examination of a particular human lion figurine and situates the discussion within its Aurignacian (c.32,000 BP) archaeological context. Examining the components of this figurine in relation to archaeological evidence of …
