Publisher: The Free Press; 1999) ISBN: ... more0684855801. This title challenges the notion that modern history is far superior to the events and accomplishments of early civilization. The author. A scholar of prehistoric art, religion, and technology, argues that the occurrences and characteristics of later human history have their origins in prehistory. He argues that the system of constellations in the night sky, the use of calculating instruments, and artistic representations all prove that the people of the Stone Age were anything but primitive. Perhaps after reading this insightful book, the reader will come away with an entirely different take on prehistory and its legacy. CONDITION: New hardcover w/dustjacket. Free Press(1998) 320 pages. Unblemished except VERY slight edge and corner shelf wear to dustjacket and covers. Dustjacket also exhibits very mild rubbing(dustjacket is high-gloss black and so shows rub marks very easily.

The Mousterian industry appeared around 200.000 years ago and persisted until about 40,000 years ago, in much the same areas of Europe, the Near East and Africa where Acheulean tools appear. In Europe these tools are most closely associated with Homo neanderthalensis, but elsewhere were ... moremade by both Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens. Mousterian tools required a preliminary shaping of the stone core from which the actual blade is struck off. The toolmakers either shaped a rock into a rounded surface before striking off the raised area as a wedge shaped flake, or they shaped the core as a long prism of stone before striking off triangular flakes from its length, like slices from a baguette. Because Mousterian tools were conceived as refinements on a few distinct core shapes, the whole process of making tools had standardized into explicit stages(basic core stone, rough blank, refined final tool) Variations in tool shapes could be produced by changes in the procedures at any stage. A consistent manufacturing goal was to increase as much as possible the cutting area on each blade. Though this made the tool making process more labor intensive, it also meant the edges of the tools could be reshaped or sharpened as they dulled, so that each tool lasted longer. The whole tool making industry had adapted to get the maximum utility from the labor invested at each step. Tool forms in the Mousterian industry display a wide range of specialized shapes.

The Mousterian industry appeared around 200.000 years ago and persisted until about 40,000 years ago, in much the same areas of Europe, the Near East and Africa where Acheulean tools appear. In ... moreEurope these tools are most closely associated with Homo neanderthalensis, but elsewhere were made by both Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens. Mousterian tools required a preliminary shaping of the stone core from which the actual blade is struck off. The toolmakers either shaped a rock into a rounded surface before striking off the raised area as a wedge shaped flake, or they shaped the core as a long prism of stone before striking off triangular flakes from its length, like slices from a baguette. Because Mousterian tools were conceived as refinements on a few distinct core shapes, the whole process of making tools had standardized into explicit stages(basic core stone, rough blank, refined final tool) Variations in tool shapes could be produced by changes in the procedures at any stage. A consistent manufacturing goal was to increase as much as possible the cutting area on each blade. Though this made the tool making process more labor intensive, it also meant the edges of the tools could be reshaped or sharpened as they dulled, so that each tool lasted longer. The whole tool making industry had adapted to get the maximum utility from the labor invested at each step. Tool f

Paleolithic Mousterian, Precious Neanderthal Flint Raclette, Stone Age France
Paleolithic Mousterian. Precious Neanderthal Flint Raclette, Stone Age France Description Type: raclette on Levallois flake. Paleolithic Period. Industry: Middle Paleolithic/ Mousterian. Dating: the particular site from approx. 130.000 B.C. stage 6 of the oxygen-isotope chronology up to approx. 40.000 B.C. Description: Size: length 2.9 cm, weight 5 grams, Shape. Retouch: it is not well known that the Neanderthals also had small to tiny tools. Sometimes you can even read that their hands were considered too big for the use of small sized tools. We have been listing two examples this week: this is a small thumbnail-shaped raclette with fine retouch on the interior side along the entire convex part. Raw-material: flint with bright gray patination, Preservation: very well. No modern damages, Origin. Site: a famous Paleolithic site in the valley ... moreof a tributary of the Dordogne river. Dept. Dordogne, France, occupied by the Neanderthal(s) We have been listing more interesting paleolithic artifacts. Please have a look! Do you have questions?

Paleolithic Mousterian, Fabulous Neanderthal Flint Borer Stone Age France
Paleolithic Mousterian. Fabulous Neanderthal Flint Borer Stone Age France Description Type: borer on pseudo Levallois point. Paleolithic Period. Industry: Middle Palaeolithic/ Mousterian. Dating: the particular site from approx. 130.000 B.C. stage 6 of the oxygen-isotope chronology up to approx. 40.000 B.C. Description: Size: length 3.1 cm, weight 5 grams, Shape. Retouch: we have been listing very small Neanderthal tools for some weeks. And will be continuing: this is a borer on flake which actually is a pseudo– Levallois point, flaking direction is oblique relative to the long axis of the tool. The oblique left edge of the exterior side(right one of the interior side) is a naturally rounded/ snapped edge which has a very fine retouch at the distal part. The right edge of the exterior side has a concave retouch, thus it is a typical borer ... morewith alternate retouch. Raw-material: flint with thick creamy patination, Preservation: very well. No modern damages, Origin. Site: a famous Paleolithic site in the valley of a tributary of the Dordogne river. Dept. Dordogne, France, occupied by the Neanderthal(s) We have been listing more interesting paleolithic artifacts. Please have a look! Do you have questions?

50.000Y.O: WONDERFUL HAND AXE NEANDERTHAL MAN STONE AGE PALEOLITHIC MOUSTERIAN
EUROPEAN STONE AGE ARTIFACTS BY PALATINA AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED Description of the Homo Neanderthalensis- the Neanderthal( Neandertal) men from the Mousterian phase about 40.000- 60.000 years ago. The length of this stunning stone tool is 104 mms. The Mousterian industry appeared around 200.000 years ago and persisted until about 40,000 years ago, in much the same areas of Europe, the Near East and Africa where Acheulean tools appear. In Europe these tools are most closely associated with Homo neanderthalensis, but elsewhere were made by both Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens. Mousterian tools required a preliminary shaping of the stone core from which the actual blade is struck off. The toolmakers either shaped a rock into a rounded surface before striking off the raised area as a wedge shaped flake(see photo at left) or they shaped the ... morecore as a long prism of stone before striking off triangular flakes from its length, like slices from a baguette. Because Mousterian tools were conceived as refinements on a few distinct core shapes, the whole process of making tools had standardized into explicit stages(basic core stone, rough blank, refined final tool) Variations in tool shapes could be produced by changes in the procedures at any stage. A consistent manufacturing goal was to increase as much as possible the cutting area on each blade. Though this made the toolmaking process more labor intensive, it also meant the edges of the tools could be reshaped or sharpened as they dulled, so that each tool lasted longer. The whole toolmaking industry had adapted to get the maximum utility from the labor invested at each step. Tool forms in the Mousterian industry display a wide range of specialized shapes. Cutting tools include notched flakes, denticulate(serrated) flakes, and flake blades similar to Upper Paleolithic tools. Points appear that seem designed for use in spears or lances, some including a tang or stub at the base that allowed the point to be tied into the notched end of a stick. Scrapers appear
