Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. STONE TOOL USE AT CERROS: THE ETHNOARCHAEOLOGICAL AND USE- WEAR EVIDENCE, Suzanne Lewenstein, hardcover with unclipped dust jacket (price never printed), stated 1st edition, illustrated, 1987. ITEM CONDITION: very good. The text block and illustrations ar…e in fine condition, with no tears, dog ears, or marks. No bookplate or signature of a prior owner, but several pages are stamped "Production Library. Do Not Remove." The bottom edge of the pages is also stamped "Damaged Book," but I find no kind of damage to the book itself. The dark blue/gray cloth boards are in near fine condition. The dust jacket is what may have caused the "damaged book" indication with some crinkled edges and a tiny tear. 9 ¼ x 6 ¼, 228 pages, 19 ounces. XX [From the flaps] FOR CENTURIES scholars have pondered and speculated over the uses of the chipped stone implements uncovered at archaeological sites. Recently a number of researchers have attempted to determine prehistoric tool function through experimentation and through observation of the few remaining human groups who still retain this knowledge. Learning how stone tools were made and used in the past can tell us a great deal about ancient economic systems, exchange networks, and the social and political structure of prehistoric societies. Suzanne M. Lewenstein used the artifacts from Cerros, an important Late Preclassic (200 B.C.—A.D. 200) Mayan site in northern Belize, to study stone tool function. Through a comprehensive program of experimentation with stone tool replicas, she was able not only to infer the tasks performed by individual tool specimens but also to recognize a wide variety of past activities for which stone tools were used. Unlike previous works which focused on hunter-gatherer groups, STONE TOOL USE AT CERROS is the first comprehensive experimental study of tool use in an agricultural society. The lithic data are used in an economic interpretation of a lowland Mayan community within a hierarchically complex society. Apart from its significance to Mayan studies, this innovative work offers the beginnings of a reference collection of identifiable tool functions which may be documented for sedentary, complex society. It will be of major interest to all archaeologists and anthropologists, as well as those interested in economic specialization and artisanry in complex societies. XX Suzanne M. Lewenstein received her Ph.D. in anthropology in 1984 from Arizona State University, where she is presently continuing the analysis of additional lithic materials from Cerros. XX An outstanding piece of research. By no means is the application of this work limited to Cerros. Its major value is its application to use-wear analysis and to lithic research in complex societies (Harry J. Shafer). XX This will serve as a standard for years to come, both in terms of methodology and in substantive results (Payson D. Sheets).
