Refimprove date May 2007 Stone Age In archeology , lithictechnology refers to a broad array of techniques and styles to produce usable tools from various types of stone. The earliest stone tools were recovered from modern Ethiopia and were dated to between two million and three million years old. The archaeological record of lithictechnology is divided into three major time periods the Paleolithic Old Stone Age , Mesolithic Middle Stone Age , and Neolithic New Stone Age . Not all cultures in all parts of the world exhibit the same pattern of lithic technological development, and stone tool technology continues to be used to this day, but these three time periods represent the span of the archaeological record when lithictechnology was paramount. See Stone tool . Some types of raw materials are Chert Flint , Quartz , Quartzite , Obsidian , Sandstone , Jasper , Agate Onyx Jadeite Diorite , Schist Basalt , and Greenstone archaeology Greenstone .

unreferenced date March 2008 In archaeology , lithic analysis is the analysis of stone tool s and other chipped stone Artifact archaeology artifacts using basic scientific techniques. At its most basic level, lithic analyses involve an analysis of the artifact s morphology, the measurement of various physical attributes, and examining other visible features such as noting the presence or absence of Cortex archaeology cortex , for example . The term lithic analysis can technically refer to the study of any anthropogenic human created stone, but in its usual sense it is applied to archaeology archaeological material that was produced through lithic reduction knapping or ground stone . A thorough understanding of the lithic reduction and ground stone processes, in combination with the use of statistics, can allow the analyst to draw conclusions concerning the type of lithic manufacturing techniques used at a prehistoric archaeological site . These data can then be used to draw an understanding of socioeconomic and cultural organization. The term knapped is synonymous with chipped or struck , but is preferred by some analysts because it signifies intentionality and process.

As flakes are detached in sequence, the original mass of stone is reduced hence the term for this process. Lithic reduction may be performed in order to obtain sharp flakes, on which a variety of tools can be made, or to rough out a blank for later refinement into a projectile point , knife, or other object. Flakes of regular size that are at least twice as long as they are broad are called blade archaeology blade s.

In this sense, a core is the scarred nucleus resulting from the detachment of one or more lithic flake flake s from a lump of source material or tool stone , usually by using a hard hammer percussor such as a hammerstone . The core is marked with the negative scars of these flakes. The surface area of the core which received the blows necessary for detaching the flakes is referred to as the striking platform. The core may be discarded or shaped further into a core tool , such as can be seen in some types of handaxe .

Generally, the presence of a core is indicative of the latter process, since the former process usually leaves no core. Cores may be subdivided into specific types by a lithic analyst. Type frequencies, as well as the general types of materials at an archaeological site , can give the lithic analyst a better understanding of the lithic reduction processes occurring at that site.

The energy of this blow propagates through the material, often termination type but not always producing a Hertzian cone of force which causes the rock to fracture in a controllable fashion. Since cores are often struck on an edge with a suitable angle x 90 for flake propagation, the result is that only a portion of the Hertzian cone is created.

Lithic fragments , or lithics, are pieces of other Rock geology rocks that have been eroded down to sand size and now are sand grains in a sedimentary rock . They were first described and named in their modern definitions by William R. Dickinson Bill Dickinson in 1970. ref Dickinson, W.R., 1970, Interpreting detrital modes of graywacke and arkose Journal of Sedimentary Petrology, v. 40, p. 695 707. ref Lithic fragments can be derived from sedimentary, Igneous rock igneous or metamorphic rocks . A lithic fragment is defined using the Gazzi Dickinson Method Gazzi Dickinson point counting method and being in the Particle size grain size sand size fraction. Sand grains in sedimentary rocks that are fragments of larger rocks that are not identified using the Gazzi Dickinson method are usually called rock fragment s instead of lithic fragments. Sandstone s rich in lithic fragments are called lithic sandstone s.

Userspace draft source ArticleWizard date February 2011 Business Technology Business Technology ref name businesstec Best Practices in Business Technology Management, Taylor and Francis Group, 2008 ref is a term that describes the business practice of converging technology and business strategy. As an emerging evolution of Information Technology, Business Technology attempts to use hardware and software as more than tactical support systems using technology as a strategic development tool. The increasing use of the term Business Technology in IT forums and publications is due to an emerging school of thought that the potential of Information Technology, its industries and experts, has now moved beyond the meaning of the term. Specifically Information is seen by some as a descriptor not broad enough to cover the contribution that technology can make to the success of a business or organization. Business Technology is implemented by Business Technologists. These professionals have an understanding of business strategy and the capabilities and availability of contemporary technology and look for ways to enable the successful implementation of business strategy through the implementation of that technology. Business Technology is being openly adopted as a way to describe the practice of several companies and organisations in the IT arena. CIO magazine describes its content as Business Technology Leadership. Business Technology Management has several associated organisations that promote the convergence of business and technology and describes Business Technology Management as a management science that seeks to unify business and technology decision making at every level in an enterprise. Siemens IT Solutions and Services has positioned itself as the Business Technologists.

Like other doctorate s, it is an academic degree of the highest level. The doctor of technology program enables graduates to obtain an advanced level of knowledge in specialist fields and aims to produce graduates capable of advancing knowledge within their industry. The degree focuses on developing practical solutions in the workplace, critical analysis, synthesis, and innovation. In South Africa , the D.Tech is equivalent to other research doctorates and normally awarded by List of universities in South Africa Universities of technology Universities of technology . In the United States , the Doctor of Industrial Technology degree is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. National Science Foundation NSF as equivalent to the Ph.D. At the British Columbia Institute of Technology , the Doctor of Technology is an honorary degree . In Finland, the degree tekniikan tohtori TkT is comparable to a Finnish filosofian tohtori PhD , except that it is granted by a university of technology. In Sweden the situation is the same and the degrees are called Teknologie doktor or Teknisk doktor Tekn. Dr. or Tek. Dr. and are translated to PhD in English.
