A rich collection of chipped stone industry, chronologically falling to the final stage of the Želiezovce group, was obtained from the area of the settlement in Bajč. Two aspects were taken into consideration when analysing the assemblage of finds – typological-technological point of view and proportion of knappable raw materials at the site. The assemblage of chipped industry from Bajč comprises of items representing all phases of production process. The initial phase of raw silicite modification (including obsidian) is indicated by primary blades and flakes. The following stage, a primary exploitation, is documented by the presence of crest and subcrest blades. The final phase of the production process is represented mainly by the finished artefacts. Even though the collection contains also production waste, such as blades and their fragments, it mainly comprises tools – the final products of the knapping process. The analysed collection comprises of a wide range of various kinds of silicites and volcanic glass. It is currently the most diverse assemblage of knappable material obtained from the settlements of the Želiezovce group in Southwestern Slovakia. Local silicite raw material – limnosilicite – clearly prevails in the assemblage, but obsidian was also common. Radiolarite of the Szentgál type, chalk flint of the Tevel type, radiolarites of the Bakonycsernye, Gercse and Hárskút types were also identified, although they were fewer. The least frequent raw materials include felsitic porphyry, Volhynian flint, radiolarite from the Klippen Belt of the White Carpathians, silicite of the Kraków-Częstochowa Jurassic period, erratic flint, wood opal and nummulite silicite. A new, previously undescribed raw material has been recorded. It was identified as a siliceous substance of volcanic origin whose primary sources are located within the territory of neovolcanites in central Slovakia.

This paper presents analysis of the chipped stone industry from the upland settlement in Spišské Podhradie-Dreveník. The site has been devastated by the exploitation of travertine. The survey yielded 33 artefacts which can be dated to the beginning of the Upper Palaeolithic (Szeletian, Aurignacian), the Late Palaeolithic or the Mesolithic. Two bifacially retouched points and a combined endscraper/burin tool made of radiolarite can be dated to the Szeletian. As for raw materials, radiolarite prevails over patinated silicite and chocolate flint.

The proposed fossil types are carinated atypical endscraper-cores and Sagaidak-Muralovkatype microliths. These two lithic artefact types with some other techno-typological features of the considering EASMM industry type make it distinct within the LGM Early Late UP archaeological context in both Eastern and Central Europe.

Representative collection of slate fishing inventory was obtained from Beresovo 2 archaeological site in the Karelian Isthmus, North-West Russia. This material is attributed to the Middle-Late Neolithic, 4th ka BC. Series of typologically pronounced tools display variety of fishing equipment and imply diversified methods of fishing. Technological context allows discussing advantages of soft and foliated slate for making fishing and hunting equipment, and connections between bone and slate processing technologies. Slate artefacts were well-presented in the Eastern Fennoscandia, including the Karelian Isthmus, during the whole Stone Age. They also were in use later, in the Middle Ages and up to the Early Modern period. Such a long-term technological tradition was based on availability of this raw material in the regions with lack of local flint outcrops; and also on its physical characteristics that made slate good for processing using knapping, flaking, sawing and finally grinding (polishing) techniques. Different kinds of slate raw material were used within the industry, and they could be used for making implements of different categories. Slate sinkers and fishing hook parts are known in the Neolithic archaeological contexts of the Eastern part of the Gulf of Finland and particularly on the Karelian Isthmus for more than a century. Julius Ailio described a fishing rod sinker from the former Finnish municipality Kaukola on the Karelian Isthmus which he called “Angelsenker” (Ailio 1909, fig. 41 – 43; pl. I: 50). Sakari Pälsi published six beautifully crafted stems of various types, found in the same area, including one with a drilled hole (Pälsi 1915, pl. XI: 1 – 6). Similar artefacts were found in the Neolithic sites that were excavated and studied in Finland in the first half of the 20th century in Finnish provinces Northern and Southern Karelia, including the Karelian Isthmus. Rapid increasing of amount of slate artefacts including fishing hooks and line-sinkers in Finland and Karelia associates with Middle Neolithic Typical Comb Ware culture, the 1st half of the 4th ka BC (Núñez 1998, 112). Fishing tools were rather often discussed in archaeological literature within the general problematic concerning prehistoric subsistence strategies, in relation with fishing methods and osteological collections from archaeological sites (e.g. Äyräpää 1950; Carpelan 1999; Mökkönen 2001; Nurminen 2007; Núñez 2009; Pälsi 1915; Ukkonen 2004). But until the beginning of the 21st century there were no special studies on slate fishing tools. Typology of slate fishing tools for the territory of the Karelian Isthmus and entire Finland was developed by Eero Naskali in the MA. Thesis at the Department of Archaeology, University of Helsinki (Naskali 2004). A large collection of slate artefacts was obtained from a multiperiod archaeological site Berezovo 2 that has been completely studied in 2018 with 1700 sq.m excavation area (Gerasimov/Tkach/Goncharova 2018).

根据参考资料,该遗址具有代表性的板岩捕鱼工具系列可被视为新石器时代晚期考古背景的一部分;并允许讨论这一特定类别人工制品的类型和技术。板岩组合包含1100多件文物,总重量超过4公斤。它包括一系列射点、切割工具(广告、轴孔斧、不同类型的微型广告),以及穿孔器、类刀工具、吊坠和其他一些类别。打捞工具——下沉器和复合鱼钩——是一个重要的人工制品类别。除了现成的工具外,还发现了许多预制件、未完成的坯料碎片和未加工的棒材——它们构成了该遗址整个板岩组合的大约一半。通过激光全站仪记录了这些发现,可以准确地确定391件现场发现的板岩文物的位置坐标。此外,在野外作业过程中,在用小型挖掘工具解析该层后,根据单位1 x 1 m(在某些情况下为0.5 x 0.5 m),通过3.5 mm网眼的筛子将整个土壤筛至任意层。对已确定的人工结构中的土壤进行单独筛选。筛选增加了770块板岩,主要是小碎片。图1。别列佐沃2。定居点和车间的位置。东部BALTIC的新石器时代的沉船和CoMPoSITE捕鱼圈201板岩的发现在地层上按递减顺序分布在四个任意层中,而文化层的厚度高达40厘米。任意层的厚度为5–7厘米,当跟随一个独特的岩性层的表面时,厚度可能会发生变化。大部分发现集中在第一层(534件)和第二层(363件)的任意层。第三层仅发现78块板岩,第四层仅发现24块。TyPoLoGy和分类的一百年主要相信板岩捕鱼工具分类的一般标准,但根据处理阶段和不同的形态特征,对人工制品功能的定义可能会有所不同。人工制品的频繁碎片化,以及形状、大小和形态元素的多样性,使其难以进行类型学定义和解释。此外,研究区域石器时代组合中的有机材料——未燃烧的骨头、木材、树脂、丝线——的保存非常糟糕,这最大限度地减少了找到完整的复合鱼钩或渔具的机会。尽管如此,在卡累利阿地峡的前Antrea教区(Pälsi 1920)发现了有1050万年历史的带浮子和沉降片的渔网。芬兰著名考古学家S.Pälsi(1915134)首次对芬兰和卡累利阿(包括卡累利亚地峡)的板岩鱼钩进行了分类。这种类型学描述了当时已知的所有新石器时代的鱼钩,包括复合工具。根据Pälsi,复合钩的板岩茎属于连续的类型系列。Pälsi通过对上端细长而尖的茎的形态分析,认为板岩工具的形状与早期木制和骨制工具的形状重复(Pälsi 1915135)。Ilga A.Zagorska根据物体下部的横截面形状和形态,定义了拉脱维亚新石器时代背景下的五种类型的茎(Zagorska1991,54)。这一分类不仅包括板岩制品,还包括其他不同材料的捕鱼工具(骨头、鹿角、动物牙齿)——总共205根复合鱼钩(Zagorska 1991,55,图5)。在Lubāns湖和Big Ludza湖的岸边,以及Zvejnieki墓地、Zvejnie ki II、Riņ罷łukalns和Abora I定居点的地表发现了复合鱼钩茎。在同样的环境中也发现了刺,但更多的是在后方。脊柱体积较小,通常有倾斜或延伸的下部。其中一些带有捆绑痕迹,这表明这些点不是独立的工具,而是复合钩子的一部分(Zagorska 1991,56)。E.Naskali(2004)的分类是根据20世纪初在芬兰进行的地表发现和挖掘的收集而制定的。这部作品一直未出版,因此鲜为人知。除了纳斯卡利分类法是最新的分类法外,它还考虑了来自大领土的最大数量的物质。研究中分析了91根树干和222个伸卡球,其中约一半来自芬兰南部和卡累利阿地峡(前芬兰,现为俄罗斯领土)。因此,该分类是基于在地理、时间和文化意义上与Berezovo 2收藏进行比较最相关的材料。E

In the last century, a big number of specific poplar-leaf shape points were obtained during the archaeological research at the Moravany nad Váhom-Dlhá. The assemblage contains numerous points of various sizes, methods of production at different stages of completion. The paper presents the results of usewear analysis of the selected leaf points from Moravany nad Váhom-Dlhá. The study focuses on the relation between the morphology, raw material use, size of the points and the character of macroscopic and microscopic traces associated with their use and hafting, as well as the localization on the points. However, from the aspect of use-wear analysis, the collection is a bit problematic. It has been obtained a long time ago, mostly in 1943 and 1963. Instead of being packed separately, numerous leaf points were stored together only in few boxes. Many of them are damaged either by production, or as a result of postdepositional processes, lowering the visibility of the original use-wear traces. First microscopic analysis indicates that these types of tools were probably used as hunting equipment.
上个世纪,在莫拉瓦尼遗址Váhom-Dlhá的考古研究中,获得了大量特定的杨叶形状点。该组合包含许多不同大小的点,不同完成阶段的生产方法。本文介绍了Moravany and Váhom-Dlhá所选叶点的使用分析结果。重点研究了点的形态、原料的使用、大小与点的使用和加工相关的宏观和微观痕迹特征之间的关系,以及点的定位。然而,从使用磨损分析的角度来看,这个系列有点问题。它是很久以前得到的,主要是在1943年和1963年。许多叶点不是单独包装,而是一起储存在几个盒子里。它们中的许多都是由于生产或沉积后的过程而损坏的,从而降低了原始使用磨损痕迹的可见性。首先,显微镜分析表明,这些类型的工具可能被用作狩猎工具。

Did the Pavlovian groups occupy the current territory of Slovakia? The mountainous territory of central Europe was occupied during the Early and Middle Gravettian by various human groups. Among these groups, the Pavlovian has a special place. It is world-famous for its rich material culture and symbolic behaviors. Concentrations of its occupations, called microregions, are identified along the natural corridor that crosses Moravia and Czech Silesia (Moravian Corridor). Within this cultural entity, two distinct groups have recently been identified from the lithic industries: a microsaws group and a geometric microliths group. Each of them is characterized by a different behavior towards mineral resources, its stone fossiles directeurs, as well as peculiarities in production systems. This article aims to assess the extension of these two Pavlovian groups to the territory of present-day Slovakia and to identify real series/objects that would validate its analogies. This involves discussing the three sites containing lithic material (the Dzeravá skala Cave, the Nemšová I open-air site, and the Slaninová Cave), which were compared in the past to the Pavlovian or the Early and Middle Gravettian. The first observations suggest that none of these collections delivered material with sufficient quality and quantity to support these analogies.

The first observations suggest that none of these collections delivered material with sufficient quality and quantity to support these analogies.","PeriodicalId":41838,"journal":{"name":"Studijne Zvesti Archeologickeho Ustavu Slovenskej Akademie Vied","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70015630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During the last 15 years, three Middle Palaeolithic open-air sites were excavated in the Cserhát Mountains (Northern Hungary), lying at the northern periphery of the Great Hungarian Plain. The context was similar at each locality: the lithics were excavated from loess-like reddish or yellowish sediment from a depth of 50 – 100 cm beneath of the recent surface level. Bifacially worked leaf-shaped points and knives associated with sidescrapers and endscrapers made on flakes were found at all sites but in different ratio. For the time being, the chronology of the assemblages is not clear enough, but the typological and technological attributes of the assemblages show few if any Upper Palaeolithic traits. In the present paper, the characteristics of the bifacially manufactured and leaf-shaped implements from the sites will be compared with an emphasis on their raw material types.
