Steven A. Rosen's Lithics After the Stone Age is the first in-depth analysis of post-Stone-Age tools. For Near Eastern archaeologists, he provides the first comprehensive typology and description of post-Neolithic tools including subtypes, function, distribution, and chronology, allowing for the easy identification of lithic materials found in excavations. For lithics specialists of all geographical regions, he offers insightful interpretive essays on the organization of production and distribution, tool function, style, and the complex relationship between lithic and metal technology. Over 100 illustrations.

Recensioner i media

This volume is an extremely valuable reference and research tool, with much detail and good bibliography. It is also a series of essays on rather more specific subjects. There is no doubt that it fills an important gap in scholarship, and it will be widely used by those concerned with Levantine lithic studies.
