Title: Good on flint and stone working...tools
Review: The discussion of tool industries as to how they were produced and how they were used by early man and his ancestors is very good: the best I have seen.The book is dated for sure, but the place names and dates are still pretty good as reference. The writing style is somewhat dry, but readable.The mention of carbon dated hearths in the new world at 23800, 28000, and 37000 years and then the default to Clovis was a disappointment.On reason this book is as dated as it is, is because of recent resultsin this area of new world dates. A whole new generation of authors will write about the new coastal and boat paradigms that extend new world population back much further than in this generation of books.
Is the review positive or negative?
