Shea, Stony Brook University Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2020 xviii, 289 Seiten Illustrationen Includes bibliographical references and index "Stone tools are the least familiar objects that archaeologists recover from their excavations, and predictably, they struggle to understand them. Eastern Africa alone boasts a 3.4 million-year-long archaeological record but its stone tool evidence still remains disorganized, unsynthesized, and all 8 but-impenetrable to non-experts, and especially so to students from Eastern African countries. In this book, John J. Shea offers a simple, straightforward, and richly illustrated introduction in how to read stone tools. An experienced stone tool analyst and an expert stoneworker, he synthesizes the Eastern African stone tool evidence for the first time. Shea presents the EAST Typology, a new 15 framework for describing stone tools specifically designed to allow archaeologist to do what they currently cannot: compare stone tool evidence across the full sweep of Eastern African prehistory. He also includes a series of short, fictional , and humorous vignettes set on an Eastern 20 African archaeological excavation, which illustrate the major issues and controversies in research about stone tools"-- Tools, Prehistoric Africa, Eastern Stone implements Africa, Eastern Stone implements fast Tools, Prehistoric fast Steinbearbeitung (DE-588)4256435-9 gnd Steingerät (DE-588)4057175-0 gnd Vor- und Frühgeschichte (DE-588)4078951-2 gnd Stone implements Africa, Eastern (RERO)B028537442 Tools, Prehistoric Africa, Eastern (RERO)B028537443 Outils préhistoriques (RERO)A021065384 rero Industrie lithique (RERO)A021096041 rero Eastern Africa fast Ostafrika (DE-588)4075722-5 gnd Afrique orientale (RERO)A009954427 rero Electronic books u Afrika - Ostafrika idsbb A8 u Paläolithikum - Afrika idsbb A8 u Steinartefakt - Paläolithikum idsbb A8 u Technologie - Paläolithikum - Afrika idsbb A8 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 IDSBB A255 A255 PR IPNA 5100 NELA2552007 IDSBB 100 1- Shea John 1960- (DE-588)14051743X Verfasser aut RERO 100 1- Shea John J.
