About This Item
Charles Scribner's Sons, 1974. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. B&W photos and drawings throughout; B&W era photo section.. CONDITION: What makes this book "As New?" It appears to have been read to page 30 and abandoned. The DJ shows very very small edge wear at top corner flap. Interior clean and tight. B&W era photos and drawings illustrate throughout. One B&W era photo section. The front board shows a design in gold foil with the title in gold foil on the spine. Actually, for such an old book, it's in great shape. CONTENT: Experimental archaeology is a new approach to the study of early man. By reconstructing and testing models of ancient equipment with the techniques available to early man, we learn how he lived, hunted, fought and built. What did early man eat? How did he store and cook his food? How did he make his tools and weapons and pottery? Such everyday questions, besides the more dramatic mysteries associated with the monuments of Easter Island and Stonehenge and the colonization of Polynesia, can all be explored by experiment. the book falls into 3 sections: Food Production; Heavy Industry; and Light Industry.
