Title: Artifacts
First published: 1964
Description: This book is not a history of technology, but an endeavour to show how, from the artifacts of early man, one may come by the necessary facts from which to construct a history of technology, especially one of a preliterate people. The first part of the book is intended to give a short account of the materials and techniques likely to have been used by early man, while the second part deals very briefly with the technological examination of artifacts, and gives an outline of the methods of study adopted by specialists in various fields of the natural sciences.
