For the purpose of this article, attention is focused on the relationship between use-wear traces (Semenov 1964; Keeley 1980) and morphological features (Laplace 1964; 1966; 1972), analysed from a morphotechnical perspective (Vila 1977; 1986). The analysis of raw materials and the refitting techniques have been carried out already by other researchers (Conneller 1996).
The aims of this project are twofold (Briz 2004). Firstly, it aims to uncover the morphologies attached to the creation of specific tools for specific tasks, such as meat processing, at the site of March Hill. In addition, it aims to uncover any morphotechnical attributes that may exist in the production of a given tool, as well as highlight any variation. With the achievement of these aims it becomes possible to address questions regarding and relating to technological changes, social identities or landscape construction. However, only if our aims are achieved will we pursue these avenues.
