Apel Jan, Knutsson Kjel (eds). Skilled Production and Social Reproduction: Aspects of Traditional Stone-Tool Technologies

Proceedings of a Symposium in Uppsala, August 20-24, 2003. — Uppsala: Societas Archaeologica Upsaliensis, 2006. — (SAU Stone Studies 2). — 454 p. — ISBN 91-973740-6-7, ISSN 1404-8493.During a five-day symposium in late August 2003, a group of archaeologists, ethno-archaeologists and flint knappers met in Uppsala to discuss skill in relation to traditional stone-tool technologies and social reproduction. This volume contains 20 of the papers presented at the symposium, and the topics range from Oldowan stone technologies of the Lower Palaeolithic to the production of flint tools during the Bronze Age.Introduction.
