Excerpt from Prehistoric Stone Implements of Northeastern Arizona Although this area is a considerable distance from Zuni, Acoma, and the Rio Grande Pueb los, it cannot be regarded as geographically iso lated. The intervening region once supported a sizable pueblo population and well-travelled trade routes connected the Jeddito pueblos with settlements to east, west and south. This trade continues today, more or less independent of the white invasion of the region. The Hopi. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Ground stone artefacts were widely used in food production in prehistory. However, the archaeological community has widely neglected the dataset of ground stone artefacts until now. 'New Approaches to Old Stones' offers a theoretical and methodological analysis of the archaeological data pertaining to ground stone tools. The essays draw on a range of case studies - from the Levant, Egypt, Crete, Anatolia, Mexico and North America - to examine ground stone technologies. From medieval Islamic stone cooking vessels and late Minoan stone vases, to the use of stone in ritual and as a symbol of luxury, 'New Approaches to Old Stones' offers a radical reassessment of the impact of ground-stone artefacts on technological change, production and exchange.
