Vuurstenen werktuigen: Technologie op het scherp van de snedeby J.R. BeukerEnglish summary: Flint was the primary raw material used for tools until c. 4000 years ago. Its properties allow the production of very sharp edges, which made it essential in many activities related to craft and subsistence. The fact that flint tools have been used for a long period of time almost everywhere in the world makes them an important source of information in the study of prehistory. About the AuthorJaap Beuker is curator of the archaeological department of the Drenths Museum in Assen (The Netherlands). He is also an experienced flintknapper, engaged in experimental archaeological research into flint-working techniques and the use of flint tools. Praise for this Volume“In dit ‘Handboek Vuursteen’ laat Jaap Beuker, onderzoeker en bewerker van vuursteen bij uitstek, ons delen in zijn jarenlange kennis en ervaring. Een belangrijk leerboek voor alle studenten en (amateur) archeologen, voor hen even onmisbaar als ‘het staal van de steentijd’ voor de prehistorische mens.” Browse other Archaeology books |
