• Publishes an annual journal Lithics, which contains articles, reviews, and news of the Society's related activities.
• Publishes Occasional Papers on conference proceedings and thematic volumes.
• Promotes the highest standards of lithics research and reporting, and recognition of the role of lithics in broader studies of the past.
• Advocates and contributes to policies relevant to lithic studies, such as English Heritage's Lithic Scatters (2001)and Research Priorities for Holocene Lithics (2004).
• Provides a convivial forum for the exchange of ideas and information.
