Organizing a collection of articles on lithic studies in Portuguese does not seem, at first, a challenging task. After all, Portugal already has a tradition of decades of research on the subject, which has also increased in Brazil in recent years. Therefore, it was expected that most of the articles published in this edition would come from these two countries. The challenge was to include articles on research carried out in other Portuguese-speaking countries, as they have few or no archaeological research institutions. And of the studies on the lithic industries in these countries, most are carried out by researchers from North America or Europe, especially Portuguese archaeologists.

起初，用葡萄牙语组织有关石器研究的文章似乎并不是一项艰巨的任务。毕竟，葡萄牙已经有数十年的研究传统，而巴西近年来也有所增加。因此，可以预期的是，此版本中发布的大多数文章都来自这两个国家。面临的挑战是要纳入有关在其他葡萄牙语国家开展的研究的文章，因为这些国家很少或没有考古研究机构。在这些国家的石器业研究中，大多数是由北美或欧洲的研究人员进行的，尤其是葡萄牙考古学家。
