Variation in Lithic Assemblages: An Experiment

Abstract Results of analyses of experimentally generated core and debitage samples from novice and experienced flint workers are compared. Variability in type and number of errors, successful error corrections, and morphology of stylized tools appear to be related to level of expertise. Patterned variation in attributes exists which may be used to infer or test for aboriginal skill level.
