Knives, canoes, and invisible technologies
The archipelagos of southwestern Patagonia were historically inhabited by hunter-gatherer societies characterized by a maritime-oriented lifeway and a knowledge of navigation techniques. These canoeros societies inhabited this extensive territory from approximately 7500 years BP until the processes of social disintegration and ethnocide that took place during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The use of shells as tools constituted a distinc…
Shell tool technology and new insights into techno-cultural strategies during the Neolithic in Eastern Arabia. An initial case study from Umm al-Quwain (United Arab Emirates)
Cinquante ans après la découverte
Le site de la République est localisé en bordure de microfalaise à Talmont-Saint-Hilaire en Vendée (France). Il s’intègre au sein d’un vaste réseau d’occupations campaniformes observable tout le long du littoral vendéen, où près d’une quinzaine de sites sont attestés. Il a été découvert en 1968 par R. Joussaume suite à des prospections de surface et a fait l’objet de plusieurs opérations archéologiques de sauvetage entre 1988 et 2015 (B. Poissonn…
Le macro-outillage en pierre du Mésolithique atlantique Un référentiel bien daté sur l’habitat littoral de Beg-er-Vil (Quiberon, Morbihan)
Les macro-outils sont très peu décrits pour les industries lithiques mésolithiques du territoire français, malgré leur omniprésence dans les habitats. L’habitat côtier de Beg-er-Vil (Quiberon, Morbihan) fouillé entre 2012 et 2018 est une référence particulièrement cohérente d’un point de vue chronologique et stratigraphique pour le septième millénaire avant notre ère. Elle autorise une relecture des autres assemblages lithiques du Mésolithique at…
Pasado, Presente Y Futuro Del Análisis Funcional Aplicado Al Estudio De Los Instrumentos De Concha Prehistóricos
El análisis funcional orientado al estudio de la tecnología lítica ha tenido un gran desarrollo durante las últimas décadas, tanto a nivel metodológico cómo en variedad y cantidad de aplicaciones. Sin embargo, el estudio del utillaje manufacturado con materias duras de origen animal, especialmente los instrumentos de concha, a partir de la traceología ha tenido menor interés en la investigación arqueológica. En este sentido, numerosa y variada in…
Estudio de la manufactura y/o uso de instrumentos de trabajo y elementos de adorno de concha desde la metodología del análisis funcional
Since its inception, traceology or functional analysis (Semenov, 1957) has been shown as a discipline within Archeology to effectively examine tool manufacture and use of various archaeological material elements. This methodology is based on the macroscopic and microscopic analyses of traces generated on the surface of an object during its manufacture and/or use. These analyses, as well as inference, are used through analytical experiments to emp…
La ocupación de la costa durante el Mesolítico en el Oriente de Asturias
The discovery of Paracentrotus lividus remains in archaeological sites is an important source of information that is not always possible to assess due to the difficulty of quantifying the debris and its contribution to the overall study. Recently, several authors have designed systems for the MNI calculation based on the mouthparts of the sea urchin or interspecific identification systems based on the genital tract. This paper presents an MNI cal…
Utilización de instrumentos de concha para la realización de actividades productivas en sociedades tribales comunitarias del sur de la Península Ibérica. El ejemplo de Campo de Hockey (San Fernando, C…
Functional analysis has focused mainly on the study of lithic instruments and to a lesser extent instruments made on animal materials. Using functional analysis we identified ten shell tools from the archaeological sites of Campo de Hockey and SET Parralejos, located in the Atlantic coast of Cádiz (southern Spain). Both sites date to the IV-V millennium BC. The interpretation of use wear present on the surface of the shells has enabled us to esta…
The Use of Mollusc Shells as Tools by Coastal Human Groups
In European archaeology, the malacological remains recovered in archaeological contexts have traditionally been considered almost exclusively as food waste. In other cases, this view has been broadened in order to study these remains as an expression of aspects of the social organization of the human groups, based on the use of perforated shells as objects of personal ornamentation. However, the study of these natural resources as raw materials f…
Utilización de instrumentos de concha durante el Mesolítico y Neolítico inicial en contextos litorales de la región cantábrica
Uno de los debates más extendidos en la historiografía sobre el Mesolítico y el Neolítico inicial en la región cantábrica es el de la escasez de tecnologías “tradicionales” en la mayor parte de los contextos existentes, especialmente en aquellos con grandes acumulaciones de conchas. Actualmente, varias de las hipótesis propuestas atribuyen este fenómeno a diferencias en la organización espacial de los asentamientos, al aumento en la utilización d…
