Determining prehistoric skin processing technologies : the macro and microscopic characteristics of experimental samples /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

The importance of skin processing technologies in the history and expansion of humankind cannot be overstated, yet these technologies can be difficult to identify in the archaeological record. This research outlines the development of a systematic, non-destructive method for identifying the tanning...
