Lithics: Macroscopic Approaches to Analysis (Cambridge Manuals in Archaeology)

Great books

This is a very good book, especially for archaeologists and archaeology students interested in macroscopic lithic analysis. Also a good book for teaching lithic archaeology, it's like a guide.Es un muy buen libro, recomendable para especialistas, pero demasiado específico para aficionados de la arqueología. En especial recalcar que el título lo dice todo: es solamente para análisis lítico y para análisis macroscópicos, no para ver tipologías de líticos del mundo o para análisis de otros tipos.Está bien escrito, tiene un orden admirable y una buena guía para análisis lítico en general para arqueólogos experimentados y para los que están comenzando también; ya temas más específicos el mismo autor va recomendando a otros investigadores que los tratan con más profundidad.

This book is perfect for anyone interested in lithics; I recently graduated with my bachelors in archaeology, but unfortunately my college focused on ceramics rather than lithics for analysis--Adnrefsky's book has helped me to learn on my own so I feel confident enough to make decisions in the field concerning lithic types.

Well done. Great for being concise in the field.

The book, at least for this novice in lithics, provides a good basis for the study of chipped stone. It describes a basic starting typological framework and detailed discussions of tool manufacture.

Excellent overview of macroscopic analysis of flaked stone artifacts.

an excellent book to have for lithic analysis. this book was a textbook for a lithic analysis book i took. very detailed!

I am an archaeologist wanna-be and needed this book for a class I was taking. It's the kind of reference that will remain on my bookshelf for eternity.
