New data on lithic technology of Early Neolithic in Northern Italy: refittings from Lugo di Grezzana (VR)

IpoTESI di Preistoria, 2020
Lithic technology is an uncommon research tool for investigating the Neolithic lithic industries of northern Italy. In fact, our knowledge about the lithic industries of this period is mainly related to typological descriptions.
