Chaîne opératoire by Roger Grace

Chaîne opératoire, translated as operational sequence, has been described as, "the different stages of tool production from the acquisition of raw material to the final abandonment of the desired and/or used objects.” This iBook explains the links of the operational chain and how these can be used to interpret stone age sites using analysis of material from England and Norway.
