Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Two flint cores recently found in Gloucestershire, one of the Neolithic and the other of the Neolithic/early Bronze Age, are briefly described. Both would have been made from imported flint. The exploitation and movement of lithic resources in the Mesolithic is outlined. The larger-scale exploitation of such resources in the Neolithic implies an intensification of lithic tool use, linked to both population increase and cultural complexity. A speculative quantification of the amount of flint that might have been imported into Gloucestershire per year is given, and an explanation of the process of importation is sought. The proposed scale of traffic in lithic resoures can offer insights into Neolithic society; the 'affluence' of southern England in later prehistory may stem ultimately from the combination of good farmland and superior flint resources.
