Description for Fractures in Knapping
Paperback. This book is for students and practitioners of not only knapping, lithic technology and archaeology, but also of fractography and fracture mechanics. In general, understanding of fractures provides a sounder basis for lithic analysis, and use of more recent scientific tools opens new avenues for lithic studies. Num Pages: 273 pages, Illustrated throughout in black and white. BIC Classification: HDA; HDDA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 244 x 176 x 13. Weight in Grams: 612.
This book is for students and practitioners of not only knapping, lithic technology and archaeology, but also of fractography and fracture mechanics. At conferences on fractography of glasses and ceramics, the author has often been asked to demonstrate knapping as well as provide overviews of fractography learned from it. The first part of the book is intended to stimulate such interests further, in order to solicit contributions from a largely untapped pool of experts. Such contributions can advance significantly our understandings of knapping as well as fractography. In Part II of the book, fracture markings as the tools of fractography ... Read more

The work is enhanced by his curiosity and minute observational ability of a natural scientist. It is the most complete monograph on the subject. It will be of interest to ... Read more
