Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-5381-8696-1 (ISBN)
Guide to the Palaeolithic Artifacts and Features of the Americas is the go-to reference for stone, bone, antler, ivory, and wooden artifacts of the palaeolithic era in the Americas. Written by Ricard Michael Gramly, an expert in the field, this book canvases a century of archaeological literature and scholarship and includes over 150 images to clearly and efficiently classify the artifacts discussed.
Each artifact includes all the terms and synonyms by which it is classified, a visual depiction of the artifact, and the time period in which the artifact occurred in.
Combining both Old and New World technologies, typologies and practices, this book is a must have for professional and amateur archaeologists, collectors of palaeolithic artifacts, and the casual reader interested in the history of the Americas.
Richard Michael Gramly (FRAI) has conducted fieldwork in North America (two Canadian Provinces and 28 States), South America (Peru and Colombia), and the Old World (Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia). These investigations, which have been performed since 1962, have resulted in several hundred publications in scientific journals of Kenya, Tanzania, France, England, and the United States. In addition, Dr. Gramly has contributed chapters to books about prehistory and been the sole author of many others. Trained as a geo-chemist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, but receiving his PhD in anthropology from Harvard University, he has taught at Canisius College, SUNY Stony Brook, Tufts University, and Harvard University, and has worked for the New York State Museum, the National Museum of Kenya, the Maine State Museum, and the Buffalo Museum of Science in various capacities.
