We examine ways to enhance this system by recognizing the "intrinsic characteristics" (e.g., color, quality, and workability) in archaeologically recovered chert raw material that would have been of concern to prehistoric people. We believe study of these characteristics better recognizes elements of "style" within traditions of lithic manipulation. We provide three examples from southwestern Illinois ...
