Lithic analysis and classification

Once we have collected our lithics we need to analyse and classify them.

Fieldwalking

Our main activity involves walking over ploughed fields looking for stone tools (lithics), mostly flints. For each find we record the GPS location.

Test Pitting

In future years we plan to conduct test pitting excavations to explore some of the sites we have located by fieldwalking. This can provide evidence for occupation and for dating.

Mapping

Once the finds have been catalogued we can display the results on maps and relate to the local environment
