Archaeologists dealing with the mass of quarry material will find useful information about analyses of reduction, flake assemblages and preform data that should be transferrable to other quarry sites globally. Shott sought to "1) devise and implement efficient but rigorous (i.e. probabilistic) sample designs for spatially extensive, abundant quarry deposits; and 2) to test a behavioral-ecology model of the staging of resource use, the field-processing model (FPM)." However, data collection and initial analysis also required additional analyses be undertaken to appropriately address research questions. As a result, this manuscript details a "diverse and comprehensive set of methods to a large, systematically acquired dataset." It supports the conclusion that the Modena quarry was used by small groups though time"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Quarries and quarrying, Prehistoric $z Nevada. 650 0 $a Antiquities, Prehistoric $z Nevada. 650 0 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $z Nevada. 650 0 $a Obsidian $z Nevada. 651 0 $a Nevada $x Antiquities. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Shott, Michael. $t Prehistoric quarries and terranes. $d Salt Lake City : University of Utah Press, 2021. $z 9781647690113 $w (DLC) 2020025423 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220602014407.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3FC608AA83F811ECA43678234CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
