Lithic Debitage

"I highly recommend this book for those new to lithic studies or experienced analysts. For those in hiatus to lithic material studies this book is a necessary review; for those who have been immersed all along its an invigorating 'dip' into the cold, hard reality of leading edge debitage studies. It reveals the evolutionary process of lithic analysis and explores creative ways in both traditional and non-traditional techniques emerge." --Journal of Middle Atlantic Archaeology "This book is a gem for those looking for a sound review and new applications of recent American studies of lithic debitage through functional and behavioral ecology lenses." --American Antiquity "This book provides an excellent overview of the state of research into archaeological lithic debitage at the start of the twenty-first millennium.... Nicely produced, attractive, and well organized. The importance of the concepts discussed and the impressive range of applications ensure that it will be consulted by lithic analysts for many years to come." --Lithic Technology
