| Abstract: | The writers describe flaked glass artifacts from archaeological contexts in the Andaman Islands and several widely separated regions of Australia. They review the general problems in the identification of these kinds of artifacts, considering them also in the light of the 19th-century ethnohistoric records from both areas describing their use and manufacture. They attribute similarities in their mode of manufacture to the deployment of the fundamental processes involved in flaking (knapping) behavior when similar new materials are available.
