Scarcity's Apprentice
Stuck Between a Rock and Hard Place
In Ireland, differential levels of skill were occasionally observed in Mesolithic stone tool assemblages. This research has only concentrated on assemblages which predominantly derive from the flint-rich north-eastern region of the island. The lithic assemblages excavated from sites located in the south, west and midlands of Ireland are often composed of a mixture of raw materials including volcanic rocks and sometimes contain only coarse-grained…

The German Quartzite Palaeolithic
In many European countries the use of quartzite in the absence of good quality flint during the Palaeolithic is well documented. But how are we to interpret the choice of non-flint raw materials, such as quartzite, as the dominant raw materials for lithic production in terms of the technological and social behaviour of Middle Pleistocene hominids? The Quartzite Palaeolithic of Germany serves as a regional case study for the exploration of the rel…
Microlith to macrolith
In a new study the authors explore the reasons behind the remarkable change in the procurement and choice of stone tools that occurred half way through the Irish Mesolithic. The abandonment of microliths and the adoption of a broad blade technology around 7000 BC is here attributed to a need for multi-purpose tools made from a variety of materials, serving smaller and more mobile communities
