Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Reports the experimental firing of flint in a `roasting pit'. Concludes that the most appropriate type of fire for the purpose of heat treating lithic material is a low, wide, well fed fire that concentrates heat, rather than a tall narrow `bonfire'. An important factor appears to be that a thick bed of embers is required to retain the heat of the fire. Following the completion of the experiments the entire heating pit was excavated, with the intention that heat-treatment pits in the archaeological record will be more easily recognised. | ||||||||||
