Abstract:		 The book presents the results of an investigation of Lower and Middle Palaeolithic stone artefacts from southern England, with particular reference to assemblages from two sites at high levels in the landscape. The author aims to show that aspects of cultural adaptation in European archaic humans can be investigated using the evidence of these artefacts. She also examines the question of how best to understand Palaeolithic artefacts preserved within deposits mapped as clay-with-flints. She reviews approaches to the study of stone artefacts produced as a result of handaxe-making, then presents a study of an experimentally produced handaxe and associated waste products. This forms the basis for the methodology of artefact recording which was applied to the Wood Hill Palaeolithic assemblage from Kent, and analyses of this assemblage are presented. The themes of handaxe functional efficiency and knapping skill development, developed from study of the Wood Hill assemblage, are investigated regarding handaxe morphological variability. The results of investigations (including field-survey) at the site of Dickett's Field in Hampshire are also presented, and observations and experiments to investigate the ways in which flint artefacts weather are discussed. The book concludes with a synthesis of the evidence presented. In the accompanying CD video, the author provides the commentary for a demonstration of butchery techniques using flint tools, showing the effectiveness of various shapes and sizes of cutting implements.
