On and off the rivers: Changes in clay sourcing and preparation strategies in the Congo Basin throughout the past two millennia
Thermal Alteration of Flint: An Experimental Approach to Investigate the Effect on Material Properties
Archaeological lithic assemblages are often affected by burning, as evident from severe thermal damage on these artefacts. In this study, the thermal alteration of four different flint types was investigated by performing controlled heating experiments in laboratory setting. The resulting heat alterations were afterwards compared to heating of flint samples in campfire experiments, as these correspond better to the burning conditions present duri…
Burning flint: An experimental approach to study the effect of fire on flint tools
A well-preserved Michelsberg Culture domed oven from Kortrijk, Belgium
Preliminary characterization of flint raw material used on prehistoric sites in NW Belgium
This study aims at analyzing the mineralogical, chemical, and structural characteristics of flint raw material used for the production of prehistoric stone tools in NW Belgium. Understanding these characteristics is important to recognize their value for tool making and even tool use during prehistory. Due to its formation process, flint is defined by a wide variety of internal structures, chemical variations, and impurities. Moreover, alteration…
