Changing Settlement Patterns in the Aksum-Yeha Region of Ethiopia: 700 BC - Ad 850.
ISBN: 9781841718828 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Joseph W Michels takes a regional perspective to examine Aksumite sites (the Horn of Africa) from 700 BC to 850 AD in their spatial and behavioural contexts.

The models of change and development in political organization from Pre-Aksumite through Post Aksumite times provide valuable hypothetical models.

Stone Tools and the Prehistory of the Northern Isles
ISBN: 9781841719108 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 141 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Explores the possibilities of using coarse stone assemblages from the Northern Isles of Scotland to observe aspects of social change throughout the prehistoric period. This report draws together the available data on coarse stone artefacts, much of which is rather disparate, with a view to providing a standard work of reference for use to those excavators in the Northern Isles who, faced with a large coarse stone assemblage, require a description of the types of artefacts which occur as well as background information on their context and chronology. This is in part a synthesis as it combines...

Les productions céramiques du Québec méridional, c. 1680-1890: Analyses, caractérisation et provenances
ISBN: 9781841719214 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Historical records mention that over 200 potters were active in Southern Quebec between 1655 and 1920. These locally-made productions are now found on every archaeological excavation undertaken in Southern Quebec, but their contribution to the understanding of the archaeological sites are limited because they are rarely identified. This study presents compositional analysis as a solution to the problem of identification and provenance of local wares. Through the analysis of major, minor, and trace elements (using ICP-AES and ICP-MS) of about 300 ceramics uncovered on 16 production sites, the...

Examining the Levallois Reduction Strategy from a Design Theory Point of View
ISBN: 9781841717173 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume presents research that attempts to examine the potential advantages of the Levallois reduction theory that led to its long history of use. Thus the development of a model of Middle Palaeolithic lifeways from which can be identified those factors that influenced and constrained the design of Middle Palaeolithic stone technology and tool kits is also presented. From this, several hypotheses were developed and then tested through analysis of the products of different reduction strategies at four Middle Palaeolithic sites in SW and SE France. The analysis showed that the Levallois...
