Reviews
'In this useful volume, anthropologist Shea ... fills an important niche by providing the first multi-period survey of Near Eastern stone tool typology and technology.' Choice '... an excellent resource and one that certainly fills a long-standing gap in the literature for the Levant. Shea's volume on Levantine stone tools should be on every stone artifact researcher's book shelf and also would serve as an excellent resource for a course on lithics.' Deborah I. Olszewski, PaleoAnthropology
