The Lithic Studies Society seeks to
advance the international study of lithic industries
in the broadest possible context. To this end, the
Society:

meetings, conferences and organises field trips
- usually including opportunities to view and
handle artefacts.
- 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.
