Produktinformationen zu „Multidisciplinary Approaches to the Study of Stone Age Weaponry / Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology (PDF)“

New archaeological finds and experimental studies have helped to bring this subject back to the
forefront of human origins research. In the last few years, investigations have
expanded beyond examining the tools
themselves to include studies of damage caused by projectile weapons on animal
and hominin bones and skeletal asymmetries in ancient hominin populations. Only
recently has there been a growing interest in controlled and replicative
experiments. Through this book readers will be updated in the state of
knowledge through a multidisciplinary scientific reconstruction of prehistoric
weapon use and its implications.

Contributions from expert
authors are organized into three themed parts: recognizingweapon use
(experimental and archaeological studies of impact traces), performance of
weapon systems (factors influencing penetration depth etc.), and behavioral and
evolutionary ramifications (cognitive and ecological effects of using different
weapons).

Autoren-Porträt

Dr. Radu Iovita is a paleoanthropologist and paleolithic archaeologist, currently working at the MONREPOS Archaeological Research Centre and Museum in Neuwied, Germany. His research focuses on experimental approaches to technological evolution and in human migration and adaptation to environmental change in the Eurasian loess steppe.
Dr. Katsuhiro Sano is an assistant professor at the University of Tokyo.
His research interests revolve around temporal advances in technology and
function of prehistoric stone tools, especially prehistoric hunting technology.
