Durrington Walls Dig 2016: Refitting by Andy B on Saturday, 14 May 2022

Jake Rowland writes: The 2016 excavations at Durrington Walls uncovered a series of knapping scatters which provided the opportunity to attempt to refit the excavated flakes. This was done to determine if the scatters were in situ and to understand the reduction strategies (production methods) employed by people in the late Neolithic.

The refitting group of 7 flakes (animated above) were refitted by myself and fellow student Roo Whittaker. The flakes were found in a small discreet lithic scatter measuring approximately 40 x 50 cm containing around 64 flakes. The sequence resulted from an episode of in situ core reduction during the construction of the henge bank at Durrington Walls.
