With Grit and Determination: A Century of Change for Women in Great Basin and American Archaeology

Abstract

resent very real disagreements among lithic analysts (see, for example, the extended explication of the weaknesses of the typological approach to flake analysis), but nonetheless provide a comprehensive overview of the salient issues and variables. Similarly, Shott contextualizes the study of the Modena and Tempiute quarries with extended comparisons to sites across the Great Basin, California, other regions of North America, and often other continents. Taken together, the net effect is like having an entire graduate-level lithics seminar between two covers. For that reason alone, this book is worth having on one’s shelf.
