Lithic Analysis in Archaeology

This video introduces some of the most basic aspects of observing and making measurements on the products of flintknapping, with emphasis on debitage (the flakes removed from a core). It also introduces the chaîne opératoire as a theoretical and conceptual tool for the analysis of lithic and other technologies.
