Lithic Studies Society

The Lithic Studies Society (LSS) is an international society founded in 1979 to advance "knowledge of, and education and research in, lithic studies." The Society's members and contributors have diverse interests, spanning the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Prehistory in general, up to historic periods across the world. The Society provides a convivial forum for the exchange of ideas and information and produces. It regularly holds lectures, day meetings, conferences and field trips, publishes an annual peer-reviewed journal (Lithics) and occasional thematic volumes. Additionally the society promotes the highest standards of lithics research and reporting, and advocates and contributes to policies relevant to lithic studies.
