Anotace

The papers in this volume were originally collected for a symposium entitled "Recent Developments in Bone Tool Studies", organized for the 69th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology held in Montreal (Canada) on April 2nd, 2004. The objective of the symposium was to illustrate how recent developments in approaches, methods and techniques in worked bone studies can contribute to our understanding of basic problems encountered in archaeological research, with case studies from Europe and North America essentially, but also from Latin America and Oceania. Contents: 1) Bone Tools and Bone Technology: A Brief History (Genevieve M. LeMoine); 2) The Importance of the Palaeontological and Taphonomical Analyses for the Study of Bone Industries (Carole Vercoutere, Marylene Patou-Mathis and Giacomo Giacobini ); 3) Technology on Bone and Antler Industries: A Relevant Methodology for Characterizing Early Post-Glacial Societies (9th - 8th Millennium BC) (Eva David ); 4) Prehistoric Bone Tools and the Archaeozoological Perspective: Research in Central Europe (Alice M.
