A detailed study using a non-site distributional approach has focused on Quarry 35, situated in the Mt Wood Range of Sturt National Park, Northwestern New South Wales. The analysis illustrates how accurate recording and appropriate sampling techniques were used to firstly understand the spatial and technological variation in a quarry assemblage and secondly to identify its role as a resource in the wider landscape. The results show that the procurement of stone from Quarry 35 was planned, highly organised and was essential to the successful acquisition of resources in a difficult arid zone environment
