Prehistoric Economy in the Mount Carmel Area of Palestine: Site Catchment Analysis

Claudio Vita‐Finzi, Eric Higgs, David J. Sturdy et al. · 1 Dec 1970

This study is concerned with the exploitation of resources by human groups in the Carmel area over a period of about 50,000 years. To this end an attempt is made to evaluate the changing economic potential of the ‘catchments’ of individual sites, for this enables us to make a comparative analysis of hunting-gathering and agricultural…

The Characterization of Obsidian and its application to the Mediterranean Region

J. R. Cann, Colin Renfrew · 1 Dec 1964

Evidence of contact between cultural groups is of great importance to the study of prehistory. Although the development of absolute dating methods has decreased our dependence on the discovery of such contacts for chronology, they are essential material when the origin and spread of culture is being studied. In the past, cultural contacts have generally…

Obsidian and Early Cultural Contact in the Near East

Colin Renfrew, John E. Dixon, J. R. Cann · 1 Dec 1966

Obsidian was not necessarily the earliest object of trade, but it certainly seems to be the first for which material evidence remains. It has been reported from nearly every Early Neolithic settlement in the Near East, although many of these sites are distant from the natural sources. In our first paper (Cann and Renfrew 1964),…

Radiocarbon evidence for the Lateglacial Human Recolonisation of Northern Europe

Rupert A. Housley, Clive Gamble, Martin Street et al. · 1 Jan 1997

This paper examines, through the use of Accelerator Mass Spectrometry dating, the database of Lateglacial cultures involved in the recolonisation of northern Europe. The aim is not only to determine the timing of that recolonisation, but also to propose a general model of hunter-gatherer colonisation at a sub-continental scale. The question is addressed of how…

British Lower and Middle Palaeolithic Handaxe Groups

Derek Roe · 1 Feb 1969

In the Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society for 1964, the writer presented (Roe, 1964) an interim report on his programme of research on the British Lower and Middle Palaeolithic material, describing methods of studying assemblages of handaxes by metrical and statistical analysis, and outlining the first results obtained. The present paper offers a summary of…
