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.

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 ...

Lithic Industry in Khairkhan Cave, Mongolia

Problems of Archaeology, Ethnography, Anthropology of Siberia and Neighboring Territories
Discovered in 2022 in the southwest of the Khangai Mountains and located in a separate limestone massif, Khairkhan Cave is the only Paleolithic site in the area and the first cave site in the mountainous country in general. Less than 200 km away there is the Khoid-Tsenkheriyn-Agui Cave, known for its Paleolithic paintings.

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.

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 ...

THE LITHIC INDUSTRY OF OBI-RAKHMAT GROTTO, UZBEKISTAN

Bulletin of the Indo-Pacific Prehistory Association, 2007
The analysis of the Obi-Rakhmat archaeological materials provides us with data suggesting a process of gradual transition from the Middle to Upper Paleolithic occurring in western Central Asia. The chronometric dates available for the site indicate that the developmental processes described above occurred prior to 50,000 years ago.

Estilo Tecnológico e as Indústrias Líticas do Alto Vale do Rio dos Sinos: Variabilidade Artefatual entre Sistemas de Assentamentos Pré-coloniais no Sul do Brasil

Cadernos do LEPAARQ, 2012
O estilo tecnológico é o resultado de escolhas culturalmente determinadas que se refletem na seleção das matérias primas, nas técnicas e seqüências de produção e nos resultados materiais destas escolhas. A comparação de estilos tecnológicos de diferentes

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.

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.
