| dc.description.abstract | Variability in handaxe form or shapes is widely
acknowledged in Early Stone Age literature. The strategy
of this study is aimed at achieving an understanding of
the shapes, size, and refinement of Acheulian handaxes
in Kenya by applying metrical analyses on attributes
such as Length, Breadth, Thickness, ~~d other derived
indices.
The first chapter presents the problem and the
hypothesis to be tested. Chapter 2 is a perspective
chapter on the Acheuli&~, which is the time period
dealt with in this study. Chapter 3 is background
information to the sites. Discussion on site location
in relation to topography, ecology, geology, and so
forth is included here. Chapter 4 discusses the methodology,
while Chapters 5 and 6 deal with data analysis and
presentation, and conclusion, respectively. | en |
