Despite their ubiquitous presence among prehistoric remains in
Greece, ground stone tools have yet to attract the same kind of
attention as have other categories of archaeological material, such
as pottery or lithics. Flexible Stones provides a detailed analysis
of the material discovered during the excavations at Franchthi
Cave, Peloponnese, Greece. Approximately 500 tools, the raw
material used for their manufacture, as well as the byproducts of
such manufacture were found. Most of this collection comes from the
Neolithic component of the site including a small number of
Palaeolithic and Mesolithic cases with a large number of the
studied tools indicating multiple uses. Anna Stroulia sees the
multifunctional character of these tools as a conscious choice that
reflects a flexible attitude of tool makers and users toward tools
and raw materials. A CD-Rom with 209 additional plates is
included."
