 abstract={In Sweden the flint mines of Angdala have often been regarded as representative of lithic procurement. During recent years several sites in Sweden have been interpreter as quartz quarrying sites. Some of these sites are situated in eastern middle Sweden where flaked quartz is common on the Stone Age settlements. This article presents these quarrying sites and discuss some problems related to their interpretation, especially in relations to the Mesolithic period. There are several problems related to the study of quartz quarries, e.g., the problem of dating them. The demand for raw material can be measured through the following variables: activities using stone tools, lithic technology and the efficiency of the stone tools. Some of these variables give contradictory results when used in analysis of flaked quartz in the region. The quarrying sites are however an important source of information for studies regarding lithic strategies in stone Age society},
