the paper examines the Mesolithic stone tool assemblages from excavations carried out over the past two decades in the Vale of Pickering, North Yorkshire. Considerable variation is revealed to be present amongst the assemblages examined. This encompasses variability in the use of different raw materials and technologies; in the spatial separation of different stages of the reduction sequence; in the choice to manufacture particular tools an in the structure of their deposition. These assemblages provide a local context for Star Carr and are used to suggest that the site cannot adequately be represented as a single `site type' such as a base camp or hunting camp. Settlement models for the North of England are also argued to be too simplistic, failing to incorporate the variability noted in the Vale of Pickering

the author looks at secondary context Lower Palaeolithic data for the Hampshire basin in southern England, arguing that spatial modelling techniques can offer a means of quantifying the results of a 150-year history of partial and unsystematic sampling by documenting the processes by which the archaeology was recovered. The paper outlines spatial model procedures and results, and demonstrates an application of modelled data, discussing the issues of hominid demographic and long-term survival strategies
