A cross-section of recent research in lithic analysis, demonstrating the wide range of theoretical approaches found in this field
This collection of essays brings together several different evolutionary perspectives to demonstrate how lithic technological systems are a byproduct of human behavior. The essays cover a range of topics, including human behavioral ecology, cultural transmission, phylogenetic analysis, macroevolution, and various applications of evolutionary ecology.
Contest Winners for Two is a series of five graded collections of original, time-tested piano duets. Over the years Alfred, Belwin, and Myklas produced an extensive catalogue of quality elementary and intermediate supplementary piano duets. The pieces that are included in this volume represent the three companies' most popular and effective duets drawn from festival and contest lists. Book 5 consists of late intermediate pieces, placed in approximate order of difficulty. Titles: * The Grand Finale (Catherine Rollin) * Jazz Duets Nos. 1-3 (Carol Wickham) * Kansas City Rag (Ernest J. Kramer) * Ostinato (Michael Shott) * Remember When (Robert D. Vandall) * Three Waltzes (Robert D. Vandall)

The original research papers in the volume provide a broad review of current approaches to the study of lithic technology from the Palaeolithic to the present. The contributions address both with analytical techniques and interpretive issues. Collectively, they increase our understanding of issues such as tool function, means of production, raw material sourcing and exchange systems, and the evolution of human cognition, social organization and symbolic behavior.
Lithic analysts have been criticized for being atheoretical in their approach, or at least for not contributing to building archaeological theory. This volume redresses that balance. In Stone Tools, renowned lithic analysts employ explicitly theoretical constructs to explore the archaeological record and use the lithic database to establish its points. Chapters discuss curation, design theory, replacement of stone with metal, piece refitting, and projectile point style.
