Abstract
Lithic typology: background, goals, and a personal perspective
Thomas R Hester
36 - 45
Uses anthropological and archaeological examples from the USA and Central America to caution against over-simplistic application of tool typologies.
A multi-language dictionary: watch your language
Roger Marois
46 - 49
Experience of international conferences etc., prompts the call for a more standardised approach to ensure increased accuracy when dealing with texts in translation and terms incorporated from other languages. There are contact addresses for interested parties.
Hunter-gatherer adaptations, economic risk and tool design
C Britt Bousman
59 - 86
An exploration of possible reasons why hunter-gatherers change their technological strategies and how this could inform interpretation of the archaeological record.
Comprehensive lithic studies: context, technology, style, attrition, breakage, use-wear and organic residues
Michael B Collins
87 - 94
A holistic approach to lithic studies, covering all potential aspects of analysis listed in the title and advocating more concentration on data from demonstrably meaningful contexts in order to make the lithic data itself more relevant in terms of past social practice.
Lithic distributions and their analytical potential: an example
James I Ebert
Eileen Camilli
95 - 105
Describes a technique originated to record artefacts' typological and spatial properties together, at a wide range of resolutions and scales, entitled `distributional archaeology'. Spatial scale is analysed mathematically, with controls for depositional and post-depositional factors, with additional scales for the manufacture and use of stone artefacts. The technique is seen as internationally applicable.
Chaîne opératoire: the concept and its applications
Frédéric Sellet
106 - 112
Defines and describes a concept used to chronologically segment the actions and mental processes required in the manufacture of an artefact and its incorporation into the system of a prehistoric group, from procurement of raw material/s to artefact discard.
