Abstract:

The author joins the Peace Corps in the hopes that he will discover who he really is yet he only finds frustration. Upon returning to the States he has a daughter and finds peace. Within this peace, as he types up the life history of a friend, he finally makes a breakthrough, yet the answer he finds is not to his liking.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the social significance of obsidian use in the Neolithic Near East. However, unlike many traditional studies, its aim is neither to study the formal patterns of obsidian exchange nor to clarify the regional and chronological variation of obsidian artefacts. Instead, it approaches the issue of the use of obsidian from an interpretative perspective that conceives of it as 'material practice' through which social relationships between communities were constructed.

The purpose of this study is to understand how prehistoric people moved around the landscape and used major stone tool resources throughout the last 10,000 yr. B.P. in southern Idaho. Similar research has been reported in the Great Basin and western Wyoming and this study continues to fill the map with data about how large regions of the western United States were used prehistorically. This study specifically examined whether or not prehistoric mobility changed according to wet and dry climatic shifts. Based on these shifts archaeologists expect the regions people used to expand or shrink usin

Abstract:

The social aspect of modern hominin behaviour is a neglected subject within recent Palaeolithic research. This thesis addresses this issue arguing that modern social behaviour is reflected in the hominin ability to create and maintain extended social networks where relatedness is successfully sustained in absentia. Archaeologically, modern social behaviour can be detected through the investigation of raw material movement. This thesis argues that by concentrating on materials that are rare, distinctive and their origins can be securely identified it is possible to reconstruct the dimensions of

Abstract:

From excavations of burial complexes of the Early Bronze Age Cyclades (c. 3000-2200 BC) we know that obsidian was just as important and as widely consumed in burial contexts as it was in contemporaneous household contexts; Early Bronze Age Cycladic tomb assemblages are dominated by beautiful obsidian blades produced through a unique knapping technique reserved for burial contexts (Carter 2007; Dickinson 1994). The lack of sourcing studies in the area is an unfortunate pitfall in Aegean archaeology, as understanding patterns of source selection provides us with precious insight into the complex

This thesis contains a detailed investigation of volatiles within subglacially erupted rhyolites from Torfajokull and Krafla, Iceland. Thermogravimetric, FTIR and XRD analyses have been combined with field observations and thin section obser- vations to investigate the coupling between fracturing and hydration resulting in the formation of perlite. The dominant volatiles in perlites are shown to be water. Perlites are enriched in water with respect to obsidians and total volatile contents vary between litho- facies. More-perlitised obsidians are found to be enriched in water compared to less-p

Abstract:

Silicic volcanism defines the recent volcanic activity in the Aeolian Islands, Italy. Such activity on the islands of Lipari and Vulcano has generally involved an explosive phase, ending with viscous lava extrusion and a period of quiescence. This late effusive extrusion has resulted in a number of obsidian lava flows and domes. Obsidian lavas on Lipari and Vulcano are texturally heterogeneous, and many of the young lava flows show signs of flow deformation associated with flow emplacement. Preservation of such textures and structures is important for the reconstruction of the structural and t

This research takes one prime example of Neolithic exchange, that of obsidian, and explores the journeys behind these arrows.

This combined exploration of Neolithic activities from a social perspective opens a window onto the dynamic, interwoven activities which constructed the rich tapestry of daily Neolithic life. These inter-linking relations between daily activities are shown to begin to move use beyond simple technological, economical or ritual interpre

This thesis studies lithic landscapes and taskscapes from an explicit perspective of social practice.

Five key concepts are used to explore human choice and interaction in these three fields: practice, knowledge, skill, strategy and tradition. Sardinia and the obsidian artefacts from the Riu Mannu Survey Project data have served as a case study.

This thesis considers the social context of Southern Aegean lithic technology during the fourth-third millennia B.C., focusing on the socio-political significance accorded the production and consumption of obsidian blades from the later Neolithic-Early Bronze Age. In Section One (Chapters One-Five) past work on Aegean obsidian is examined critically. Through drawing on data generated by recent surveys and excavations in the southern mainland, the Cyclades and Crete, it is argued that from the later Neolithic - EBII, the working of obsidian shifted from a community-wide basis to being located w

By examining currently available data and providing new data from three sites in the northern Tucson Basin conclusions about trends in spatial and temporal use of obsidian are made.

Millimetre-scale flow-banded obsidian, pumice and rhyolite range from planar to chaotically folded, the latter a product of ductile, compressive deformation. Fractures, some of which display en-echelon splitting patterns are a result of brittle failure. Taken together, these features al

The ways of life of the inhabitants of prehistoric New Britain were almost unknown to archaeologists until the last quarter of the twentieth century. Until recently, the people who lived there during the early to mid-Holocene period, and who left scant traces in the archaeological record, were assumed to have been residentially mobile foragers living in simple societies. More recent research has shown that people were making and exchanging large, highly worked, obsidian tools. The inference was that these tools carried a component of social value and were used to signal status, and that the so

Abstract:

La elaboración de artesanías de hace siglos corresponde en la actualidad a la producción de herramientas que el ser humano utiliza en la vida diaria. Sin embargo, al cambiar la vida de las personas estos artículos han tenido que modificarse ya sea parcial o totalmente en su forma de producirlos, en el tipo de material, las técnicas, los diseños o inclusive la función para la que fueron hechas en sus inicios. Debido a lo anterior, muchos objetos artesanales han dejado de ser útiles y han pasado a ser un ornamento más en hogares u oficinas, porque ya no son completamente instrumentales como en

Abstract:

Este estudio se configuró con el propósito de aproximarnos a conocer el mecanismo de abastecimiento que los habitantes de las inmediaciones de la desembocadura del río Ica emplearon durante el Precerámico Medio y Tardío (8000 a 3000 cal AP) para proveerse de obsidiana, piedra volcánica que aflora solo en algunos lugares de las tierras altas de los Andes centrales. En tal sentido, se procedió a establecer la forma que tuvo la obsidiana cuando arribó al litoral y, con la técnica de fluorescencia de rayos-X, determinar la fuente de procedencia. El conjunto de datos obtenidos con la presente

Abstract:

L’objectif de cette thèse est la caractérisation technologique et typologique des industries lithiques du site de Proskynas en Grèce Centrale durant le Néolithique Récent (NR) et le Bronze Ancien (BA). En comparant ce corpus avec les industries lithiques régionales publiées jusqu’à présent et en contrôlant les techniques par l’expérimentation archéologique, cette étude révèle la contribution de l’industrie lithique dans la compréhension de la transition du Néolithique Récent au Bronze Ancien. L’approche méthodologique envisage une description analytique de tous les objets débités. L’analyse de
