This paper examines the relationship between raw material proximity and changes in stone artefact reduction and stone tool maintenance using a case study from coastal SE Queensland. It is argued that a drop‐off in the relative use of raw materials with increasing distance from source locations paralleled increases in the relative importance of tool maintenance over tool manufacturing activities. The implications of these results for future studies are discussed briefly in terms of the isolation of technological thresholds and the scheduling of stone tool use
