Origin and Spread of Microblade Technology in Northern Asia and North America

This 222 page paperbound volume dedicated to the late Richard G. Morlan contains 12 chapters detailing the complexities of the various microblade technologies found throughout northeast Asia and northwestern North America over the past 30,000 or more years, and gives their distributions in time and space. All of the types and many examples are illustrated with line drawings or photographs and their distributions and frequencies are shown using maps and graphs. Discussions center around origin, use, and meaning in the contexts of culture history and environmental adaptations.
