Seeing Lithics A Middle-Range Theory for Testing for Cultural Transmission in the Pleistocene Gilbert B. Tostevin (Author) There is substantial debate over the extent to which the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition and the dispersal of anatomically modern humans from Africa into Eurasia at the end of the Pleistocene were the result of the same process, related processes, or unrelated but coincident processes. The current debate shows a gap in archaeological method and theory for understanding how different cultural transmission processes create patterning in the material culture of foragers at the resolution of Paleolithic palimpsests. This research project attempts to bridge this gap with a middle-range theory connecting cultural transmission and dual inheritance theory with the archaeological study of flintknappers’ flake-by-flake choices in the production of lithic assemblages. 9781842175279, £25.00, March 2013 HB, 608p, American School of Prehistoric Research Monograph, Oxbow Books A Forged Glamour, Melanie Giles 9781905119462, £ 30.00, January 2013 PB, 224p, 50 b/w + col illus.

Later Prehistory of the Badia Excavation and Surveys in Eastern Jordan, Volume 2 A. V. G. Betts (Author); D. Cropper (Author); L. Martin (Author); C. McCartney (Author) The Jordanian Badia is an arid region that has been largely protected from modern development by its extreme climate and has preserved a remarkably rich record of its prehistoric past. This is the second of two volumes to document extensive surveys and excavations in the region from Al-Azraq to the Iraqi border over the period 1979–1996. Broadly, it covers the Late Neolithic and Chalcolithic of the eastern badia. Over time, an outline prehistory of the region has emerged. Late Epipaleolithic campsites have been found in the north-west of the harra in the foothills of Jebel Druze, while the central basalt region saw a floruit of activity in the late Aceramic Neolithic, when it was used extensively for hunting. This volume covers the following period, which witnessed a further spread of campsites and short-term occupation out around the edges of the harra and across the hamad as far as the lands bordering the Euphrates to the north and east. This period was marked by the first appearance of sheep and goat as one element of the steppic economy alongside traditional practices of hunting and foraging. The concluding chapter discusses these changes and proposes models for the introduction of domesticated animals into the steppe as a precursor to a full nomadic pastoral economy.

V. Adrianov (Editor); Maurizio Tosi (Editor); Simone Mantellini (Editor) Ancient Irrigation Systems in the Aral Sea Area , is the English translation of Boris Vasilevich Andrianov’s work, Drevnie orositelnye sistemy priaralya , concerning the study of ancient irrigation systems and the settlement pattern in the historical region of Khorezm, south of the Aral Sea (Uzbekistan). This work holds a special place within the Soviet archaeological school because of the results obtained through a multidisciplinary approach combining aerial survey and fieldwork, surveys, and excavations. This translation has been enriched by the addition of introductions written by several eminent scholars from the region regarding the importance of the Khorezm Archaeological-Ethnographic Expedition and the figure of Boris V. Andrianov and his landmark study almost 50 years after the original publication. 9781842173848, £20.00, June 2013 HB, 300p, American School of Prehistoric Research Monograph, Oxbow Books 19
