Lithic Scatter In 2021 a large report on the most recent archaeological work along the dee was published. this discusses all the lithic scatters recorded by mesolithic deeside and contains interesting details about the prehistoric landscape. Lithic scatters can represent a palimpsest of activity, sometimes containing several technologies from different archaeological periods. consequently, the value of lithic scatters as a source for investigating past behaviour has often been undervalued. The study describes the suite of approaches deployed to investigate lithic scatters in the landscape, dominated by forest, around the flint mines. It is over 18 years since the guidelines for managing lithic scatters (2000) were first published to help planning authorities and developers understand some of the key issues relating to the investigation of lithic scatters.

Lithic scatters in the british isles: from antiquarianism to heritage protection. this paper will review the past thirty or so years of work on lithic scatters in the british isles. Useful explanations of how to get started in measuring, describing, analysing and classifying lithic artefacts can be found in andrefsky (1998), saville (1980) and also watson (1968).
