This book looks at the transformations that intentional heat
treatment causes in silica rocks when used as lithic raw material.
Heat treatment, known from the Middle Stone Age on, is an important
step in the evolution of techniques, and the way humans perceived
the materials available to them. The study shows an experimental
approach, not only to understanding what happens, but also to
understanding the range of temperatures and heating speeds at which
these transformations take place. The results yield quantitative
data that help with the recognition of techniques and procedures
that silica rocks, such as flint and other cherts, were subjected
to in heat-treated processes.
