Abstract
Two palaeoliths from north-east Warwickshire
Alan Saville
3 - 6
Acheulian handaxes come from separate sites near Wolvey, with evidence which suggests Hoxnian or early Wolstonian outwash.
Tool manufacture in quartzitic and similar rocks in the British Palaeolithic
R J MacRae
7 - 12
Investigates the incidence of non-flint (nearly all quartzite) Palaeo tools. Some 50 are known from the Thames Valley and appear akin to Middle Acheulian, though only two are fine enough to compare with the best flint bifaces. Clearly a substitute where flint was unavailable.
Putting lithics to work: flint scatters and the settlement pattern short report on Prehistoric Society meeting, 15 Nov 1986
Frances Healy
13 - 14
On progress towards turning flint data into landscape history, social history and economic history.
A fieldwalker's reply
Robert J Silvester
15 - 16
Expresses concern that flint collections from current fieldwalking may not be fully representative because of insufficient liaison with tool specialists. How many such sites will be followed up by excavation?
The 'Asda factor': core reduction, resource stress and the nature of lithic assemblages in central-southern England
A John Schofield
17 - 29
Investigates the effect of shortage of raw (flint) material on the way that flint was collected and worked in early times; the rarer the flint, the more economically it was used. A model of resource stress posits that 'shopping trips' were as few as possible. Frances Healy (pp 30-3) agrees in part, but sees resource stress as one of many constraints on assemblage character; Schofield replies in turn (34).
A chert flake implement from Broom, Dorset

Direct radiocarbon dating of stone tool use?
Alan Saville
36 - 37
Two instances are cited where organic materials adhering to the surface of a tool could be radiocarbon dated by the direct method. It follows that contamination and cleaning of such pieces should be avoided.
