Eds. Margaret Brewer-LaPorta, Adrian Burke, David Field. This volume derives from a meeting on prehistoric mines and quarries held at the Society for American Archaeology Annual Symposium in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2006. Fourteen papers explore a range of issues relating to prehistoric extraction sites, including ethnography, geochemical signatures, the application of neutron activation analysis, exploitation of erratics, excavation, survey and conservation. Topics include quernstone extraction, use of hammers, stages of extraction, geographical and social contexts, changing social regimes, the ritualised nature of journeys to quarry sites, study of petrofabrics, and the effects of joint and cleavage on quarrying practice. Two contributions of this title are in French with extended summaries in English. Essays of this title include: Geoarchaeological Prospecting and Palaeolithic Exploitation Strategies of the Bajocien Flints in Haut- Quercy, France (Laurent Bruxelles et al); Chalosse Type Flint: Exploitation and Distribution of a Lithologic Tracer during the Upper Palaeolithic, Southern France (Pierre Chalard et al); Neolithic axe quarries and flint mines: towards an ethnography of prehistoric extraction (Pete Topping); Systems of raw material procurement and supply in the Neolithic of northern Thrace (Ivan Gatsov); Conservation of Ancient Stone Quarry Landscapes in Egypt (Per Storemyr et al); Dorset Palaeoeskimo Quarrying Techniques at Fleur de Lys, Newfoundland (John C. Erwin); Geochemical Signature of Mistassini Quartzite and Ramah Chert, Quebec/Labrador, Canada (David LeBlanc et al); and, Extraction, Reduction, and Production at a Late Paleoindian Chert Quarry in Eastern Quebec (Adrian Burke). This title also includes such essays as: Why did Palaeo-Indians select the Sheguiandah site; An evaluation of quarrying and quartzite material selection based on petrographic analysis of core artefacts (Patrick J. Julig and Darrel Long); The life and history of prehistori
