Controlled experiments in lithic technology and function

open access: yesArchaeological and Anthropological Sciences, 2020
From the earliest manifestations of tool production, technologies have played a fundamental role in the acquisition of different resources and are representative of daily activities in the lives of ancient humans, such as hunting (stone-tipped spears ...

Lost and found twice: Discussion of an early post-glacial single-edged tanged point from Brodgar on Orkney, Scotland

open access: yesJournal of Lithic Studies, 2016
Over the last few decades it has been shown that Scotland was settled – or at least occasionally visited – during the late Upper Palaeolithic period. The finds include diagnostic artefacts of Hamburgian, Federmesser and Ahrensburgian typology, but since ...

A new approach to measure reduction intensity on cores and tools on cobbles: the Volumetric Reconstruction Method

open access: yes, 2020
Knowing to what extent lithic cores have been reduced through knapping is an important step toward understanding the technological variability of lithic assemblages and disentangling the formation processes of archaeological assemblages.

Lithic Transport Patterns, Tool Curation Behavior, and Group Range Estimates: A Model-Based Exploration

open access: yesJournal of Computer Applications in Archaeology, 2021
The distances that prehistoric hunter-gatherers transported lithic artifacts are often used to estimate how far groups moved across the landscape. Changes in the scales of stone tool transport, likewise, are frequently attributed to changes in group ...

Refitting the Context: A Reconsideration of Cultural Change among Early Homo sapiens at Fumane Cave through Blade Break Connections, Spatial Taphonomy, and Lithic Technology

open access: yesJournal of Paleolithic Archaeology
High-resolution stratigraphic frameworks are crucial for unraveling the biocultural processes behind the dispersals of Homo sapiens across Europe. Detailed technological studies of lithic assemblages retrieved from multi-stratified sequences allow ...
