The formation of lithic assemblages
Research into the processes that form the archaeological record is an important component of archaeological practice because formation processes are a key link between the materials that archaeologists study and prehistoric societies that they seek to understand. Computational modeling is a comparatively new technology with potential to provide new insights into the dynamics of human societies,...
متن کاملLithic Analysis Seminar
This course is intended to provide an in-depth introduction to contemporary methods in lithic analysis, with a special application to the Middle Paleolithic. Most of the readings, as well as my lectures will be in English, and therefore a good passive knowledge of English is required, but you will have the option to complete your written assignments and oral presentation in German. The readings...
متن کاملChildren in Archaeological Lithic Analysis
One assumption that persists in the field of archaeology is that it is easier to observe children within historic sites through toys or burials than it is to observe children within a prehistoric setting through lithic production. The purpose of this paper is to examine the current position of children within the prehistoric archaeological literature and to provide case studies of research that...
متن کاملThe Fractal Dimensions of Lithic Reduction
The fractal distribution is the best statistical model for the size-frequency distributions that result from some lithic reduction processes. Fractals are a large class of complex, self-similar sets that can be described using power-law relations. Fractal statistical distributions are characterized by an exponent, D, called the fractal dimension. I show how to determine whether the size-frequen...
متن کاملMeasuring the Complexity of Lithic Technology
Assessments of the complexity of lithic technologies coming from different time periods, regions, or hominid species are recurrent features of the literature on Paleolithic archaeology. Yet the notion of lithic complexity is often defined intuitively and qualitatively, which can easily lead to circular arguments and makes difficult the comparison of assemblages across different regions and time...
