Review:
"...provides project ideas for advanced students of lithic analysis." Society for Archaeological Sciences Bulletin
"Lithics joins other useful titles in the Cambridge Manuals series. It is written expressly for students and teachers of lithic analysis and will serve this audience well. It is more a text than a broad critical review of the field, but Lithics also rewards reading by practitioners." Journal of Anthropological Research
"We have needed a book like this for a long time, and this volume should be widely used both for classes in basic lithic analysis (for which there is no other text) and by students struggling with more osmotic approaches to learning about lithic analysis." Geoarchaeology
