Abstract
This paper looks at how waste flakes can be used to characterize production on working floors, and describes a replication experiment designed to test the fit of two neolithic assemblages from different cultural contexts to a simulated pattern of axe manufacture, using a multivariate classification technique. Further discussion examines the basis of a typological approach to the classification of flake assemblages, and seeks an explanation for apparent type shifts during the Neolithic in a “demand” based model of raw material supply.
