Palaeolithic archaeologists have been recording the three-dimensional coordinates of excavated artefacts for several decades. Z, or absolute elevation, is seldom used in analysis despite the fact that it speaks directly to an important area of research -- behavioural change through time. The article examines the way in which archaeologists record elevations; the point is made that the elevations returned by high-resolution recording systems like total stations provide behavioural and site formation data that traditional recording systems are probably incapable of capturing. Secondly, elevation data from two Middle Palaeolithic sites are used to examine changes in behavioural factors that structure the archaeological record and that apparently take place independent of changes in factors which structure the geological record.
