Abstract:		 Good quality flint is scarce in Scotland ('flint pits' in the Buchan gravels of Aberdeenshire are a rare example of systematic extraction). Alternative materials include chert, quartz, Rhum bloodstone and Arran pitchstone. The latter two were transported in their surrounding areas, as was the banded mudstone of NW Skye. The pitchstone has been found in meso, Neo, and BA contexts up to 300km from source. F B
