Lithics: Macroscopic Approaches to Analysis (Cambridge Manuals in Archaeology) 2nd Edition

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.

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.

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.

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

Excellent overview of macroscopic analysis of flaked stone artifacts.

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.

Well done. Great for being concise in the field.
