Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A technological study is concerned with the analysis of the techniques and methods used to reduce lithic material to blanks and tools. Although the basic reduction techniques were similar, there are a number of differences between the Mesolithic assemblage and the later material. The later assemblage contains less flint; it includes disc cores, which do not occur in any Mesolithic context on site; and, though both flakes and blades were present in both assemblages, the flakes in the later contexts are somewhat different. The characteristics of the later flakes suggest they were deliberately produced, unlike those from the Mesolithic sample which were apparently a by-product of blade manufacture. The later material contains very few modified artefacts, but the same basic types are present in both samples. Both assemblages contain a range of microlithic and non-microlithic tools. | ||||||||||
