Abstract

A re‐examination of the lithic remains from the preboreal site of R⊘rmyr II by means of the method of refitting has shown that the site represents the remains from a single occupation. In this article the authors focus on various behavioural aspects recognized within three contemporaneous activity areas on the site. Furthermore, the idiosyncratic knapping characteristics of the people who produced the material will be discussed. By distinguishing between the various types of refits represented, in addition to examining the implications of the typological inventory, the site of R⊘rmyr II has been characterized as a short‐term hunter's camp‐site, and not as a specialized hunting station.
