Ground stone artefacts were widely used in food production in prehistory
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.
