The purpose of the present volume is to bring attention to the research potential of the lithic artefacts in question. It embodies the proceedings of a UISPP workshop, the aim of which it was to congregate lithic researchers working on pre- and protohistoric sites and inventories in which lithic technology were of alleged subordinate importance to metal. Participants were encouraged to share knowledge, data and analytical results on inventories from a global range of societies in which tool-stone was being replaced by metal. Papers providing methodological and theoretical insight pertinent to these issues were also invited and the original score of papers presented at the meeting were further enriched by papers from authors who were not able to participate in the workshop.
