Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
This chapter is concerned with the period of time between the manufacture of the assemblage and its incorporation into the archaeological deposits. It includes analysis of both the function and deposition of the assemblage and the nature of the relationship between the recovered assemblage and the assemblage that was originally deposited. Although the artefactual deposits were composed primarily of knapping debris, the evidence does not suggest that Kinloch was primarily a production site. Production was geared towards the manufacture of blades and modified tools based on blades, and a number of other morphological tool types were made. There is evidence that at least some of these tools were used for a range of tasks, and the different patterns of the tools across the site suggest that particular activities were concentrated in separate areas. The interpretation of these patterns is problematical as, although a variety of features was examined, the level of truncation and the long period of use of the site make the detailed association of the artefact patterns with stratified features difficult. Furthermore, the present analysis cannot suggest whether the activities carried out on site involved the maintenance, use, or curation of tools. | |||
