Archaeological
Artefact Analysis - PREH3017
An introduction to archaeological approaches to the analysis of artefacts. Issues examined
include the concept and practice of classification, technological analysis of the
manufacturing process, and an introduction to the study of style and function. Both theory
and practice of artefact analysis will be covered and students will undertake studies of
artefacts in laboratory sessions.
Archaeological
Lithic Analysis
Archaeological Lithic Analysis is a reasoned and documented basis for differentiating
archaeological probability zones, a corollary of the concept that human behavior is
patterned. Testing against an established predictive model substantiates understanding
past human behavior, culture change, and adaptation through controlled observation,
contextual measurement, controlled collecting, analysis, interpretation, and explanation.
Archaeology Modules - Lithic artefacts
Applied
Artifact Quiz
This quiz is for professional archaeologists and non-professional enthusiasts alike! You
will be given an image of an artifact or prehistoric structure and asked to select the
best response from four or five choices.

Introduction to
Stoneworking
These pages will describe the basics of making and studying stone artefacts. Some
necessary terms (ie.jargon) are explained here. Today the art of stoneworking is
unfamiliar to most people, and the purpose of this area is to give you an understanding of
the study of stone artefacts.
Knappers

A resource for archaeological lithic analysts.
Lithic Technology: Tools for Life
Northeast Lithic
Database (NELD) pilot project
Lithics constitute the bulk of archaeological artifacts in the Northeast. Archaeologists
and geologists in the region are reexamining how lithic materials are classified and
sourced. The Northeast Lithic Database Workgroup (NELD) is comprised of a cooperative
group of archaeologists, geologists and other interested parties. This workgroup has
recognized a need to compile information concerning lithic materials and their sources in
the Northeast. The workgroup is in the process of developing a database on the world wide
web to facilitate lithic research.
Obsidian Hydration Analysis
Service
OHAS is an archaeological laboratory investigating prehistory using a suite of methods.
These include, but are not limited to: transmitted light microscopy, reflected light
microscopy, macroscopic analysis, satellite navigation (GPS), geographic information
systems (GIS), laser technology, and a hefty computing facility.
Theory &
Methods of Lithic Analysis ANTH 352
Lecture and laboratory on the principles and techniques of stone and bone artifact
manufacture, identification, classification, metrical analysis, interpretation, and
integration with other classes of archaeological evidence. Emphasis on the use of lithics
to test human behavioral models.
