Abstract

Kaurna Stone Artefacts is not intended as an academic study of variation across flaked stone artefacts, instead it focuses on local identification and seeks to assist ‘anyone who has an interest in understanding and recording stone artefacts commonly found within the Kaurna’s traditional lands’ (p.1). Here flaked stone artefacts are frequently made or reduced from quartz, quartzite and silcrete, with the often-misidentified bipolar reduction technique. Examples of these Kaurna Country stone materials are used to outline a simple and widely applicable guide for flaked stone artefact identification, across 45, A5 pages – a concise and portable handbook suited to the field, illustrated by Corey Turner (Kaurna Yerta).
