Exploring the Gross-Edge Curvature of Experimentally Produced Preferential Levallois Debitage
Flaked stone reduced via a Levallois, or Levallois-like, sequence potentially provided benefits to hominins in terms of flake morphology and economy relative to other sequences. But such benefits did not come without costs. Here, we contribute to ongoing debates regarding Levallois technology by assessing the gross-edge curvature of experimentally produced Levallois debitage and Preferential Levallois Flake (PLF) edges. Previous experiments have …
Experimental assessment of plan‐view and profile‐view gross‐edge curvature on stone flake slicing efficiency
Separating two or more aspects of an object via cutting was likely an important factor in the origin and evolution of flaked stone technology. In recent years experiments have demonstrated that several stone tool attributes can influence different kinds of cutting behaviour: slicing, cleaving, scraping, sawing, drilling, piercing and abrading. Here we experimentally assessed the role of stone flake plan‐ and profile‐view gross‐edge curvature in a…
The influence of cut material on the slicing efficiency effects of stone tool flake size, edge length, and gross edge curvature
The virtual goniometer
Characterisation of charred organic matter in micromorphological thin sections by means of Raman spectroscopy
Burned or charred organic matter in anthropogenic combustion features may provide important clues about past human activities related to fire. To interpret archaeological hearths, a correct identification of the organic source material is key. In the present work, Raman spectroscopy is applied to characterise the structural properties of char produced in laboratory heating- and open-fire experiments. This reference data set is compared to analyse…
Applying high-throughput rRNA gene sequencing to assess microbial contamination of a 40-year old exposed archaeological profile
A Quest for Antecedents
Lithic raw material units based on magnetic properties
Diversity Under the Bipolar Umbrella
Two archaeologists, one who works in the New World and one who works in the Old World, provide comments on bipolar technology as explored through the articles submitted to this special issue of Lithic Technology edited by Justin Pargeter and Hilary Duke
New Chronological Evidence for the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic Transition in the Czech Republic and Slovakia
We report new optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dates from the Central European sites of Kůlna, Stránská skála, Bohunice, Vedrovice V, Vedrovice Ia, Moravský Krumlov IV and Dzeravá skala, which date to the Middle–Upper Palaeolithic transition period. There are important unresolved questions surrounding the timing of archaeological events during this crucial period in European prehistory. Archaeological layers from this time period are at th…
