英国旧石器时代早期和中期的石器运输的鉴定是不寻常的。三个例子是从Wolvercote，Boscombe和红谷仓的地方，在那里稀有或异国情调的原材料已被用来生产平凸手斧。在两种情况下，原材料来源至少在25公里以外。外来或稀有的原材料和手斧形式之间的相关性被认为是由于更大的策展和这些人工制品的定期重新打磨。也有人建议，大片状坯料经常被用作这一过程的一部分，这可能有助于平凸形式。艺术品的管理和薄片坯料的使用都可以被视为在质量差或原材料稀有的地区的节约措施。完整参考：Ashton，N. 2008.旧石器时代早期石器的运输、管理和再打磨。Lithic：The Journal of the Lithic Studies Society 29：6-17.关键词：旧石器时代早期，平凸手斧，再磨，绿砂燧石，索伦特河
The identification of lithic transport in the British Lower and Middle Palaeolithic is unusual. Three examples are given from the localities of Wolvercote, Boscombe and Red Barns, where rare or exotic raw material has been used to produce plano-convex handaxes. In two cases the raw material sources are at least 25km away. The correlation between exotic or rare raw material and handaxe form is argued to be due to greater curation and the regular resharpening of these artefacts. It is also suggested that large flake blanks have often been used as part of this process, which may have contributed to the plano-convex form. Both the curation of the artefacts and the use of flake blanks can be seen as an economising measure in areas of otherwise poor quality or rare raw materials. Full reference: Ashton, N. 2008.
