An Archaeologist's Guide to Chert and Flint
The aim of this book is to draw together as much information as possible about flint and its properties. The author deals with the origin of chert and its chemical properties, its visible and mechanical properties, and describes the changes that occur in chert as a result of heat treating and natural processes such as weathering and patination. Two appendices outline procedures for chert source analysis projects, and provide basic information about chert types.
Chert Availability and Prehistoric Exploitation in the Near East
This collective volume offers a variety of perspectives which come together to offer a comprehensive picture of chert procurement and exploitation in Prehistory in the Near East and the Levant. The contributions include geoarchaeological and geological surveys, mapping chert sources and quarry sites, placed in the broader context of lithic resources and exploitation in the region; case studies of specific sites; and the characterization of chert samples and archaeological finds through macroscopic, mineralogical and petrographic analysis. They also offer studies of the raw material selection and chaîne opératoire involved in lithic production using siliceous rocks, offering insights into the development of lithic technology and tool use in the region, from the earliest evidence through to the role of flint and chert in the technological and economic systems of Neolithic farming communities.
The Chert Bubble - Volume 2, the Shire
"Contentious Councillors -- Wrangle over chert quarry -- President gets wild""Veiled charges -- Was there irregularity?""Skeleton in the Cupboard! -- Councillor demands parade""Council's chert baby -- Proving troublesome brat"These are just are a few of the headlines in The Blue Mountain Echo during 1923 and 1924 as the newspaper covered the dramas within the Blue Mountains Shire Council as it struggled to manage its chert quarry project.Located on the side of the mountain above the lower section of Victoria Pass, the shire quarry was a major undertaking for a Council less than 20 years old.In January 1916 the Council applied for a Special Lease for the purpose of a quarry. After a process o...
The Scientific Study of Flint and Chert
The thirty papers in this 1986 volume review the scientific knowledge of the nature of flint and chert at this time. These papers were presented at a 1983 interdisciplinary and international conference on flint and other cherts. Each contribution has been meticulously assessed and edited prior to publication. This collection is principally concerned with the geology and geochemistry of flint in European chert. Topics include the origin of flint; scanning electron microscopy of surface textures; and the behaviour of flint under periglacial conditions. There is a companion volume, edited by G. de G. Sieveking and M. B. Hart, on the archaeological uses of flint.

Petrological Analysis of Kettle Point Chert and its Spatial and Temporal Distribution in Regional Prehistory
This paper is a study of Kettle Point chert, which outcrops on the southeastern shore of Lake Huron, including petrological analysis and an examination of its spatial and temporal distribution in regional prehistory.
