Klappentext zu „The Emergence of Pressure Blade Making “
Human development is a long and steady process that began with stone tool making. Because of this skill, humans were able to adapt to climate changes, discover new territories, and invent new technologies. "Pressure knapping" is the common term for one method of creating stone tools, where a larger device or blade specifically made for this purpose is use to press out the stone tool. Pressure knapping was invented in different locations and at different points in time, representing the adoption of the Neolithic way of life in the Old world.Recent research on pressure knapping has led for the first time to a global thesis on this technique. The contributors to this seminal work combine research findings on pressure knapping from different cultures around the globe to develope a cohesive theory. This contributions to this volume represents a significant development to research on pressure knapping, as well as the field of lithic studies in general.
This work will be an important reference for anyone studying the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic periods, lithic studies, technologies, and more generally, cultural transmission.

Rezension zu „The Emergence of Pressure Blade Making “
"The Desrosiers volume leans more strongly towards the Continental tradition, and in typical chaîne opératoire fashion relies on empirical data to inform on lithic connaissances (knowledge) and savoir-faires (knowhow) to trace the culture historical progress of pressure blade flaking...Desrosiers provides an ideal opportunity to widen the investigative lens by considering technological approaches holistically." -- Sarah Wurz; South African Archaeological Bulletin
Pressezitat
"This volume should be commended for its successful and holistic effort in highlighting phenomena associated with pressure blade production through experimental, archaeological and historical investigations. This almost Herculean effort is clear, concise and marks a milestone in studies of blade technology. It is quintessential for anyone interested in studies of pressure blade production." (Christian Steven Hoggard, Journal of Lithic Studies , Vol. 2, 2015)"The Desrosiers volume leans more strongly towards the Continental tradition, and in typical c haîne opératoire fashion relies on empirical data to inform on lithic connaissances (knowledge) and savoir-faires (knowhow) to trace the culture historical progress of pressure blade flaking...Desrosiers provides an ideal opportunity to widen the investigative lens by considering technological approaches holistically."
