Exploring Use‐Wear Texture Quantification Through Confocal Microscopy on Tools Made From Volcanic Rocks (Basalt and Phonolite)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Functional analysis is essential for reconstructing lithic tool use. Recent approaches combining confocal microscopy and surface texture analysis provide quantitative alternatives to traditional visual use‐wear analysis, although their application to coarse‐grained, heterogeneous rocks remains challenging because of their complex surface ...

Peuplements préhistoriques au Brésil

Les Nouvelles de l’Archéologie, 2008
Franco-brazilian researchs in Mato Grosso is pointing out two periods of settlements. The first one, dated around 25 000 years ago is characterized by the lithic industry, found with bones of a Glossotherium in a level of Santa Elina Shelter.

Stylistic Study of the Late Mesolithic Industries in Western France: Combined Principal Coordinate Analysis and Use-Wear Analysis

Open Archaeology, 2023
The notion of style has been the subject of much research and theoretical development in prehistoric archaeology. This vast concept touches several fields, including the morphology of artefacts, technical gestures and their function.

Ceramic Raw Materials and Technological Choices in Iron Age Tyre (Lebanon): A Multiproxy, Fabric‐Based Approach

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a systematically integrated, multiproxy characterisation of Iron Age ceramics from Tyre (Lebanon). Ninety‐nine ceramic samples from stratified Iron Age contexts on Tyre's Acropolis, together with a small Late Bronze Age and raw‐clay reference set, were analysed using petrography, microfossil identification, X‐ray ...

Late Acheulian stone-working by the riverbank: Patterns of continuity and change reflected in Jaljulia lithic assemblages, Israel.

PLoS ONE
The Lower Paleolithic Late Acheulian marks an exceptional phase in human cultural evolution, encompassing notable transformations and innovations across Africa and Western Eurasia alongside the persistence of well-practiced Acheulian modes of adaptation.

Evaporitic Chert Provenance: Evaluating Petrographic and Geochemical Workflows for Source Discrimination

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chert tools were widely used in prehistory by human societies due to their knapping suitability and availability, but their relatively uniform composition, especially in evaporitic cherts, complicates sourcing, requiring specialised analytical methods.

Lithic Technology in Italy. Reflections on the Study of Prehistoric Lithic Industries after 30 Years of "Eric Boëda Method"

IpoTESI di Preistoria, 2018
During last three decades, the technological approach confirmed to be a useful tool to understand stone tools. This approach is mostly based on the well known methodology proposed by the French scholar E. Boëda.

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Early Levallois and the beginning of the Middle Paleolithic in central Italy.

PLoS ONE, 2017
In the second half of the 19th century Pleistocene faunas were discovered in two sites, Sedia del Diavolo and Monte delle Gioie, contained in deposits of the Aniene River in the area of Rome (Latium, Italy). Fieldwork by A.C.
