Abstract
Different strokes for different folks --; possible reasons for variation in quality of knapp...
Deborah J Olausson
90 - 115
Investigates differences in the quality of prehistoric Scandinavian knapped flint and offers some potential explanations, including: strategic or situational, where quality is dictated by requirement; apprenticeship; and inherent ability. A questionnaire surveys the characteristics of modern flint knappers and attempts to elicit information about their natural talents in areas of physical and/or mental proficiency, such as in music, chess and patience. Suggests that basic knapping was a competence that all adults in the Stone Age would have learned, although some elements of natural aptitude enabled certain individuals to excel.

Analysis of experimental debitage from hammerstone use and production: implications for ground stone use
Mari A Pritchard Parker
John A Torres
139 - 146
Reports an analysis of the debitage resulting from the experimental use of hammerstones, which revealed information about their use, production and rejuvenation. Suggests that the association of hammerstone debitage with debitage from differing milling implement production stages may provide clues to site use even if the milling implements are no longer present.
