Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The Early Neolithic pitchstone, flint and quartz artefacts from Auchategan in Argyll are re-examined, compared and discussed. The comparison between the three raw material groups shows that, although contemporary, they were all reduced according to different operational schemas, probably reflecting a combination of functional and symbolic reasoning. The three raw material groups also represent different procurement strategies, with the pitchstone having been imported from the Isle of Arran, and the flint from Northern Ireland, whereas the quartz is thought to be local. It is suggested that the currently available pitchstone assemblages, and their distribution, are an indication of the territorial structure and exchange network of the period. | ||||
