Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

Élaboration d’un protocole d’expérimentation lithique pour la compréhension des comportements techniques et techno-économiques au Paléolithique moyen

Les Nouvelles de l’Archéologie, 2009
While experimentation constitutes a useful actualistic resource for analysis and comparison, it is often underestimated and underused in techno-economic approaches to lithic industries.

Reframing the Chipped Edge: Combining Materiality, Ontology, and Embodiment to Rethink Stone Tool‐Making and Human Conscious Behavior in the Paleolithic Past

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Combining different theoretical frameworks can lead to new insights into the role of material things in shaping human experience in the Paleolithic period. This paper first presents a historical review of three theoretical approaches in archaeology, anthropology, and the philosophy of mind: Material culture and materiality studies, the ...

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

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.

What can lithics tell us about hominin technology's ‘primordial soup’? An origin of stone knapping via the emulation of Mother Nature

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)

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.
