The Paleolithic period in eastern and southern Asia has been                    labeled as an area of cultural retardation compared to Western                  Europe because of a lack of evidence and long-held assumptions                  about early human tool use.  Needed to test this idea is                        information on the range of variation in early Asian tool                       assemblages.                                                                                                                                                    In this project, the researcher will study the technological                    and typological characteristics of Paleolithic stone tool                       assemblages from eight sites in China and India.  Data will be                  collected on manufacturing techniques and use, as well as                       factors affecting the assemblages such as raw material                          availability.  Replication experiments will be conducted.                                                                                                       This project will help establish a much needed basis for                        identifying variability and inferences about human technology                   and behavior in south and east Asia during the Middle                           Pleistocene.
