This monograph represents a new step in Australian archaeology. It
presents a detailed quantitative, technological analysis of flaked
stone artefacts, of a kind not published previously in Australia.
The detailed nature of the analysis reflects the measurement of a
large number of variables on each specimen, as well as the use of
those measurements in an extended study of the archaeological
patterns. The monograph deals with only one archaeological
assemblage: the stone artefacts from Capertee 3, a site excavated
in the Blue Mountains immediately west of Sydney. This volume
develops and tests models of artefact variation and production to
an extent not seen before in Australia. More importantly, the
analysis of data involves the statistical interrogation of
quantitative measurements and is designed to reveal the magnitude
and direction of morphological variation within the assemblage. The
technological approach adopted allows for the first time in
Australian archaeology an evaluation of the nature of changes in
the manufacture of retouched flakes in a sequence spanning the
entire Holocene. This evaluation enhances current understanding of
cultural change in Holocene eastern Australia by allowing the
testing of a number of propositions about the rate and uniformity
of change in archaeological assemblages. In particular these
analyses initiate a review of models of the Eastern Regional
Sequence by creating a record of the stoneworking processes in one
of the key archaeological sites that define the purported Eastern
Regional Sequence.
