    The article deals with reconstruction of the technology for making slate knives of the Eskimos of Chukotka and Russian America, obtained during archaeological excavations and ethnographic collections. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive methodology for studying artifacts was used. First of all, a traceological analysis was carried out, which made it possible to record in detail traces of processing on the surfaces of knives, such as percussion,…

  • An experience of application of experimental-traceological analysis to ethnographic collections (the example of the ulu-knife of the Alutiiq Eskimos from Kodiak Island)

    Open Access•V Terekhina•ARTICLE•Vestnik arheologii, antropologii…•2024•References: 5

    The article presents the results of a comprehensive analysis of an ulu-knife (uluchik) from the ethnographic collection of I.G. Voznesensky of the Alutiiq Eskimos from the island of Kodiak (MAE No. 593-44). The interest to this artefact was driven by application of the ethnotraceological approach to the study of ancient stone knives of Eskimos. The history of the implement, the technology of its production and use can be reconstructed on the ba-s…

    Ethnoarchaeological research, which gained great popularity in the second half of the 20th century, has become a new full-fledged source for a variety of socio-economic reconstructions in archaeology, including when characterizing the features of industrial complexes. Developments that combine experimental traceological analysis of tools and ethnographic data play an important role in modeling ancient technologies, especially when ethnographic ar…

    Open Access•Laura Longo, Giovanni Birarda et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Archaeological Science…•2022•References: 41

    A selection of five ground stones from Pontic Steppe sites dating back to the Early Upper Palaeolithic (EUP) was used as test-cases to be analysed by combining wear-traces and use-related biogenic residues (U-RBR). The artifacts studied can be termed “legacy” objects, excavated even many decades ago and kept in museum storage facilities. This type of storage might be considered putatively prone to contamination. The multidimensional contextual ap…

  • Manufacturing technology of stone miniature columns from the Bronze Age site Gonur Depe (southern Turkmenistan)

    Open Access•Natalia Skakun, Natalia Nikolaevna Skakun et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Lithic Studies•2021

    Archaeological cultures of the Bronze Age, despite the widespread use of metal, also used stone raw materials for the manufacture of tools, household, and sacred items. A lot of stone products had a complicated shape and meticulous finishing, but the technology of their manufacture is still not always clear. This fully applies to the materials of the Bronze Age of southern Turkmenistan where long-term settlements of the proto-urban type are being…

  • Results of the integrated study of a large stone tool from the Upper Paleolithic site Suren I

    Open Access•Natalia Skakun, Laura Longo et al.•ARTICLE•Camera praehistorica•2021

    The materials of many Paleolithic sites in Eurasia contain large stone objects. As a rule, they retain their natural shape without any signs of artificial modification. However, the presence of characteristic use-wear features (polishing, linear traces, micro- and macrodeformations) unambiguously indicates that these stones served as tools. Multidisciplinary research, including an experimental and traceological approach, as well as analysis of or…

  • Functional use of large stone tool from the Upper Paleolithic site of Kamennaya Balka II (the Northern Azov Sea region, Russia)

    Open Access•Natalia Skakun, Natalia Nikolaevna Skakun et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Lithic Studies•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 5

    The assemblages of many Paleolithic sites on the Russian Plain contain large pebbles of various types of stone, which, due to the natural and unmodified forms, rarely become objects of special study. Some of them retain their natural shape, others are slightly artificially modified. In the course of our research, artifacts from several Paleolithic sites in Russia and the Republic of Moldova were subjected to a comprehensive study. Technical-morph…

  • A Multi-Dimensional Approach to Investigate Use-Related Biogenic Residues on Palaeolithic Ground Stone Tools

    Laura Longo, Simona Altieri et al.•ARTICLE•Environmental Archaeology•2021•Cited by: 11•References: 29

    Recent advances in the role played by dietary carbohydrates in human food webs during the Palaeolithic highlight that starchy foods were part of the diet well before crop domestication. Although certain plants can be eaten raw, intentional processing such as mechanical reduction using stone tools and thermal treatment readily increases the assimilation of nutrients for metabolic functions and for storing. We present a multi-techniques approach de…

  • The Settlement of Bodaki – a Tripolian-Culture Centre of Flint Exploitation in Volhynia

    Natalia Skakun, Natalia N Skakun et al.•CHAPTER•Between History and Archaeology•2018

    In many archaeological cultures of the Eneolithic epoch in Eurasia flint continued to remain the most common raw material used for tools, despite the discovery of copper.Even on such front lines -from the point of view of social and economic development -as the Ancient East and different regions of Europe, flint tools were used everywhere.In many branches they were successfully competing with metal (Păunescu 1970

  • Production and Use of Long Blades During the Chalcolithic in North-Eastern Bulgaria

    Open Access•Natalia Skakun, Boryan Mateva et al.•ARTICLE•Cuadernos de Prehistoria y…•2017

    The Chalcolithic sites of Bulgaria are characterized by a large number of tools from Dobrudjian flint. Results of studying of flint items the main blank for which was the long blade, existence of workshops, a wide circulation of the same products in different regions of the country testify to high technological level of processing of flint raw materials, professionalism of craftsmen and specialization of flint production in economy of this time. …

    The research of the tools for processing plants is of great importance for finding out when gathering and farming begins in many regions of Eurasia. In the territory of East Asia the migration of farmers’ communities of Zaisanovski cultural tradition is traced from North-East China at first to Central Primorye of the Russia’s Far East, and after that to the coastal parts of this region, where the traditional occupation of the population was prima…
