Cognitive archaeology is a relatively new interdisciplinary science that uses cognitive and psychological models to explain archeological artifacts like stone tools, figurines, and art. Squeezing Minds From Stones is a collection of essays from early pioneers in the field, like archaeologistsThomas Wynn and Iain Davidson, and evolutionary primatologist William McGrew, to "up and coming" newcomers like Shelby Putt, Ceri Shipton, Mark Moore, James Cole, Natalie Uomini, and Lana Ruck. Their essays address a wide variety of cognitive archaeology topics, including the value of experimentalarchaeology, primate archaeology, the intent of ancient tool makers, and how they may have lived and thought. | Squeezing Minds From Stones by Karenleigh A.
