This study, based on the author's thesis, studies and compares the
lithic assemblages of two Upper Palaeolithic sites in Central
Europe: Dolni Vestonice and Willendorf. More especially it
discusses the means by which these assemblages have been classified
and the issues and problems surrounding the use of typologies.
Silvia Tomaskova argues that applying standardised labels to the
prehistoric material fails to adequately describe it and that often
these labels are used, not just to organise the material, but to
interpret it as well. A history of the two sites and their
investigation preceeds a discussion of the material itself and a
comparison of types of behaviour from the lithic assemblages.
