Lamellar Technique from Hokkaido: Its Relationship to Lithic Industry

The Lithic Industry in the Makapansgat Limeworks Breccias

T he excavations directed by Professor Dart at the Makapansgat Limeworks, and conducted mainly by myself at the site since 1960, were concerned during the 19631965 field seasons with an examination of the surface soil overlying the consolidated pink breccias, and of the contents of the abundant solution cavities which penetrate the underlying breccia mass to depths of up to 15

The Lithic Industry of Obi-rakhmat Grotto, Uzbekistan

Obi-Rakhmat Grotto is situated 100 km northeast of Tashkent, Republic of Uzbekistan. The site was first studied in the 1960s and excavations through the 1970s yielded more than 40,000 stone artifacts. Excavations were renewed in 1998 with the goal of clarifying the archaeological, geological and environmental sequence. Based on studies of the 1998-1999 collections and a sample of artifacts with...

Technique of lamellar scleral resection.

THE purpose of this paper is to describe certain points in the technique of lamellar scleral resection which I think help in its efficient performance and shorten the time spent upon it. Particular mention is made of the scleral marker, the suture-retention coil, and the suture-tying forceps, new instruments which I have designed to assist in the orderly conduct of the operation. The time taken...

Dissection technique in lamellar keratoplasty.

Insights into early lithic technologies from ethnography.

Oldowan lithic assemblages are often portrayed as a product of the need to obtain sharp flakes for cutting into animal carcases. However, ethnographic and experimental research indicates that the optimal way to produce flakes for such butchering purposes is via bipolar reduction of small cryptocrystalline pebbles rather than from larger crystalline cores resembling choppers. Ethnographic observ...
