>> Dear colleagues,
>>
>> I am contacting you regarding a book proposal which I am currently
>> working up to submit to Cambridge University Press.
>>
>> I have been developing an idea to produce an edited volume focused
>> on highlighting the range and diversity of Pleistocene osseous
>> projectile weaponry. This volume would aim at contributing to a
>> greater understanding of Pleistocene cultural variability through
>> the drawing together of information about these implements from
>> various Pleistocene contexts around the world - a task which has
>> previously not been undertaken – though I believe would be a
>> beneficial contribution.
>>
>> I am hoping to have chapters focused on:
>> •     Early – Late Stone Age Africa
>> •     Lower – Middle Palaeolithic Eurasia
>> •     Upper Palaeolithic (Aurignacian, Solutrean, Gravettian,
>> Magdalenian etc)  Eurasia
>> •     Paleo-Indian America
>> •     Pleistocene Asia and Australasia
>>
>> The aim of each chapter would be outline the spatial and temporal
>> similarities and differences in point manufacture, style/form,
>> hafting method, use methods, associated osseous weaponry
>> (spearthrowers etc), and decoration in each context. Drawing this
>> information together in a collective whole will enable a clear
>> understanding of how varied this technology was during this
>> extensive period, and therefore contribute to a wider narrative on
>> the cultural variability of this period.
>>
>> If you would be interested in contributing a chapter (c.6000 words)
>> to this volume, please contact me regarding your interests. I hope
>> to be finalising chapters and authors over the next couple of
>> months – at which time I would require a short (200 word) abstract
>> and working title for the final book proposal. Chapters themselves
>> would not be due until the end of this year (if the proposal is
>> successful).
>>
>> Please let me know your thoughts or any questions you may have. Any
>> suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
>>
>> I very much hope you will be interested in contributing to this
>> volume.
