Stone Tools and the Evolution of Human Cognition

edited by April Newell and Iain Davidson

Stone tools are the most durable and common type of archaeological remain and one of the most important sources of information about behaviors of early hominins. Contributors focus on the multiple ways in which archaeologists can investigate the relationship between tools and the evolving human mind - including joint attention, pattern recognition, memory usage, and the emergence of language. Offering a wide range of approaches and diversity of place and time, the chapters address issues such as skill, social learning, technique, language, and cognition based on lithic technology. 234p b/w figs (University Press of Colorado 2010, Pb 2011)
