ABSTRACTResearch relating to cleavers can help to characterize the Middle Pleistocene European technocultural landscape, via a technomorphometric approach that provides insights into this tool’s composite involvement. A sample of 47 cleavers from the Lanne-Darré site were observed through two scales of technomorphometric analyses. When the studied entities are the entire tools, technomorphometric links are rarely perceptible; moreover, attributing them to specific usage is impossible given the current state of knowledge. Edge-scale analysis, however, is able to highlight significant relations between technical choices and shape. The transversal cutting edge specific to cleavers, directly resulting from the blank’s debitage, revealed recurrent morphologic and morphometric similarities, though differences remained in the nature and organization of other cleaver's parts. Four technico-structural tools groups were determined from these heterogeneous organizations, that differ from J. Tixier’s technotypology. Finally, the proposed technomorphometric approach provides new elements for understanding the structural place of cleavers in technical systems .KEYWORDS: Lower palaeolithiclithic technologycleaversLanne-Darréstructural analysisgeometric morphometryangle measurements AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank Anne-Lyse Ravon and Vincent Mourre for their supervision of Juliette Capdevielle's Master degree, from which this work results.

ABSTRACTThe archaeological studies in the Black Sea Region of Turkey have long been neglected in comparison to other regions in the country. Despite increasing numbers of excavations and surveys regarding the post-prehistoric period, the prehistoric cultural heritage of the region is still not widely known in the archaeological world. Having said that, the Tekkeköy-A Shelter excavation conducted by İ.K.Kökten in the 1940s is one of the oldest archaeological research attempts in the region. Owing to Kökten’s archive and chipped stone collection in the Prehistoric Archaeology Laboratory at Ankara University, we have obtained new information about his studies on Tekkeköy. The Tekkeköy-A chipped stone collection is a group of unique finds for the Anatolian Black Sea. This study primarily focuses on the limited number of chipped stones uncovered from the Kökten archive and the Tekkeköy-A Shelter excavation, and the limited number of Black Sea finds.KEYWORDS: Black SeaAnatoliaTekkeköy-Achipped stone Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 I would like to thank my colleague, Dr. Tristan Carter, for his efforts regarding the above-mentioned analyses of origin.2 In order to make a dating analysis of an archaeological site in Turkey, an official excavation permit must be obtained from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic of Turkey.

【摘要】土耳其黑海地区的考古研究与国内其他地区相比，长期以来被忽视。尽管对后史前时期进行了越来越多的挖掘和调查，但该地区的史前文化遗产在考古界仍然不为人所知。说到这里，Tekkeköy-A避难所的挖掘工作由İ.K进行。Kökten在20世纪40年代是该地区最古老的考古研究尝试之一。由于Kökten的档案和安卡拉大学史前考古实验室的碎石收藏，我们在Tekkeköy上获得了关于他的研究的新信息。Tekkeköy-A碎块石收藏是安纳托利亚黑海的一组独特发现。这项研究主要集中在Kökten档案馆和Tekkeköy-A避难所挖掘中发现的有限数量的碎块石头，以及数量有限的黑海发现。关键词:Black SeaAnatoliaTekkeköy-Achipped stone披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。我要感谢我的同事特里斯坦·卡特博士为上述来源分析所做的努力为了对土耳其的考古遗址进行年代分析，必须从土耳其共和国文化和旅游部获得正式的挖掘许可证。所以，在Tekkeköy的挖掘中没有进行绝对的年代测定并不是我的责任。我之所以能够研究Kökten档案馆里的碎石收藏品，是因为它在大学里，而不是在州立博物馆里Kartal, Citation2002, Citation2003, Citation2009, Citation2011;Otte et al.， Citation1995.4 Kartal, Citation2009, Citation2011;Yalçınkaya等，Citation2016;Taşkıran等，Citation2017;Taşkıran等人，Citation2018.5 Demirel等人，Citation2019;Demirel et al.， Citation2020;Erbil et al.， Citation2020;Erbil et al.， Citation2021;Kartal Citation2019;Kartal et al.， Citation2020;Arbuckle & Erek, Citation2010;Erek, Citation2010, Citation2014.7 Baird等，Citation2013。附加信息关于贡献者的说明他于1989年在安卡拉大学完成了他的考古学教育。他的博士课题是关于Öküzini洞穴(土耳其安塔利亚)的旧石器时代晚期的碎块石头组合，他于1999年毕业。他自1990年以来一直在安卡拉大学工作。2015年成为正教授。

ABSTRACT 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 shown that as gross-edge curvature increases, cutting efficiency decreases. As such, our results allow us to evaluate standardized gross-edge curvature throughout multiple Preferential Levallois Core reduction stages. Also, among several results, we show that as Levallois debitage size decreases, so too does gross-edge curvature, suggesting that knappers pursuing a Levallois core to exhaustion will not be penalized in terms of this feature.
