"Scholars from a variety of disciplines consider cases of convergence in lithic technology, when functional or developmental constraints result in similar forms in independent lineages.Hominins began using stone tools at least 2.6 million years ago, perhaps even 3.4 million years ago. Given the nearly ubiquitous use of stone tools by humans and their ancestors, the study of lithic technology offers an important line of inquiry into quest ..."

"This book catalogs the outstanding collection of stamp seals at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum, covering 246 seals up to the Seleucid period. The late Buchanan's catalogue entries have been combined with fully referenced introductory sections written by Moorey, and each seal is illustrated twice to show the design and the shape of its back, crucial to any typological system. Also included is Buchanan's illustrated system for the terminology ..."

"This handbook gathers original, authoritative articles from leading archaeologists to compile the latest thinking about archaeological theory. The authors provide a comprehensive picture of the theoretical foundations by which archaeologists contextualize and analyze their archaeological data. Student readers will also gain a sense of the immense power that theory has for building interpretations of the past, while recognizing the wonde ..."
