Download or read book Hunter-gatherer Specialised Subsistence Strategies in Greece During the Upper Palaeolithic from the Perspective of Lithic Technology written by Paraskevi Elefanti and published by British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited. This book was released on 2003 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addressing the question of whether economically specialised sites had specialised lithic technologies, Elefanti draws on evidence from three broadly contemporary sites in north-west and southern Greece. Defining Klithi as a seasonally-occupied and possibly specialised site and Kastrista and Franchthi as sites with access to a diverse range of resources and more favourable conditions for longterm occupation, lithic evidence from the three is reassessed and compared. The theoret ical and methodological premises of the research are clearly laid out and Elefanti concludes by stating that either Klithi is not truly representative of a specialised site, or there are no discernible differences in lithic technology between the two site types.
