Hi all,

I recently learned that the following book has finally been published. It is based on an archaeological conference session held in 2013:

Bar-Yosef Mayer, Daniella E., Clive Bonsall, and Alice M. Choyke
2017 Not Just for Show: The Archaeology of Beads, Beadwork and Personal Ornaments. Oxbow Books, Oxford and Philadelphia.

It contains 13 articles grouped into four sections: 1) socio-cultural reflections, 2) audio and visual social cues, 3) methodological approaches, and 4) experimentation and technology. There is a lot of new and interesting material here.

A detailed abstract is available at:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/320112044_Not_Just_for_Show_The_Archaeology_of_Beads_Beadwork_and_Personal_Ornaments

Supposedly the full text is also downloadable here but it didn't for me despite several tries.

The Table of Contents and a good portion of the text is available at:

https://books.google.ca/books?id=eso4DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA78&lpg=PA78&dq=Bar-Yosef:+Not+Just+for+Show:&source=bl&ots=6LtWZbiDV9&sig=yC4giAs51_BFLVSTcT23A-LKRtc&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiXsb7Sne7WAhUH7IMKHU9dBY0Q6AEIRTAJ#v=onepage&q=Bar-Yosef%3A%20Not%20Just%20for%20Show%3A&f=false

Or just Google the title.

Happy reading!
