ABSTRACT
Research into Prehistoric stone age technology has benefitted from the use and analysis of refitting studies as well as experimental flint knapping. Such analyses can be applied not only to modern flint assemblages but also to old materials which have never been subjected to similar investigations. A careful policy of saving archaeological material is conducive to analysing or re-analysing materials from earlier excavations. Today, the knowledge and experience gained from many generations of prehistorians has enabled us to reveal some of the mysteries held within old collections. The present paper presents the results of a recent re-investigation of a flint collection found almost a century ago which at that time was of no particular interest.
