Radiocarbon Dating: An Archaeological Perspective

This volume is a major revision and expansion of Taylor’s seminal book Radiocarbon Dating: An Archaeological Perspective. It covers the major advances and accomplishments of the 14C method in archaeology and analyzes factors that affect the accuracy and precision of 14C-based age estimates. In addition to reviewing the basic principles of the method, it examines 14C dating anomalies and means to resolve them, and considers the critical application of 14C data as a dating isotope with special emphasis on issues in Old and New World archaeology and late Quaternary paleoanthropology. This volume, again a benchmark for 14C dating, critically reflects on the method and data that underpins, in so many cases, the validity of the chronologies used to understand the prehistoric archaeological record.

Presents the proceedings of the May 1993 conference on Levallois technology held at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, focusing on a stone flaking technique that existed during the Lower and Middle Paleolithic. Topics include refitting of prehistoric artifacts; metric techniques developed to reconstruct processes of core reduction; variability in the Levallois process; and the role of technological analysis in reconstructing the processes that underlie morphological variability. Includes b&amp;w photos and illustrations. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Dibble, Harold L.

Arising from a conference Rethinking the Human Revolution reconsiders all of the central issues in modern human behavioural, cognitive, biological and demographic origins in the light of new information and new theoretical perspectives which have emerged over the past twenty years of intensive research in this field. The 34 papers cover topics ranging from the DNA and skeletal evidence for modern human origins in Africa, through the archaeological evidence for the emergence of distinctively 'modern' patterns of human behaviour and cognition, to the various lines of evidence for the geographical dispersal patterns of biologically and behaviourally modern populations from their African origins throughout Asia, Australasia and Europe, over the past 60,000 years.

This journal will fill a large gap in the current repertoire of English-language archaeological journals concerning the Paleolithic and Neolithic of Asia and Europe, as the place to publish site reports and data-based studies. These are at present rarely accepted for publication in the majority of journals, as they prefer to publish general articles or syntheses of original archaeological sequences. Combined edition: 4:1 and 4:2.
