ABSTRACT Throughout prehistoric times, woodworking was an essential activity. We know this because of the existence of preserved wooden objects, as well as the use-wear traces recorded on lithic tools. In general terms, functional studies and experimental programs have aimed to analyze and understand the use-wear traces generated by green and dry wood. However, some of the wood remains preserved across time show signs of thermal alteration caused by fire. For this reason, we have carried out an experimental program in which green, dry and thermoaltered wood have been worked in order to study the traces generated on the lithic tools. The results show significant differences between the use-wear traces generated by green and dry woods, and thermally altered wood. This indicates that it would be possible to recognize signs of work with thermoaltered wood on archaeological lithic tools and, therefore, to better understand the working processes of past populations.
在整个史前时代,木工都是一项必不可少的活动。我们之所以知道这一点,是因为保存完好的木制物品的存在,以及石器工具上记录的使用磨损痕迹。一般来说,功能研究和实验项目旨在分析和理解绿色和干燥木材产生的使用磨损痕迹。然而,随着时间的推移,一些保存下来的木材显示出由火灾引起的热变化的迹象。出于这个原因,我们进行了一个实验项目,在这个项目中,绿色、干燥和热变的木材被加工,以研究石器工具上产生的痕迹。结果表明,绿色木材和干燥木材产生的使用磨损痕迹与热蚀木材产生的使用磨损痕迹存在显著差异。这表明,有可能在考古石器工具上识别出热变木材的工作迹象,从而更好地了解过去人口的工作过程。

Chasing Mirages: Seeking Standardization among Prehistoric Stone Tools 追逐幻影:在史前石器中寻求标准化

ABSTRACT This paper asks why we expect to find standardization among prehistoric stone tools. It argues this expectation results from early archaeologists’ experience living in industrialized societies, a wild mismatch with the world their Pleistocene forebears inhabited. It further argues that in searching for evidence of lithic standardization, archaeologists must be alert for “mirages,” things that can create the illusion of standardization. Pre-industrial lithic standardization seems most likely to have emerged from attaching stone tools to handles (“hafting”), and from using stone tools as “passive lithic social media.”
摘要本文提出了为什么我们期望在史前石器中找到标准化的方法。它认为,这种期望源于早期考古学家生活在工业化社会的经历,与他们更新世祖先居住的世界格格不入。它进一步认为,在寻找石器时代标准化的证据时,考古学家必须警惕“海市蜃楼”,即可能造成标准化假象的东西。工业化前的石器时代标准化似乎最有可能出现在将石器附在把手上(“哈夫廷”),以及将石器用作“被动的石器时代社交媒体”

ABSTRACT How surprising are the contents of lithic assemblages? If an archeologist excavated an archeological site somewhere in Eurasia and uncovered evidence of Levallois core technology, how surprising would it be? The surprise in the content of a new assemblage is a function of what is underground as well as our prior knowledge about prehistory. How improved is our understanding of the past when another site is excavated? The answer is a measure of the information contained in lithic assemblages. We present a primer on information theory, which provides tools necessary to conceptualize, measure, and analyze information. We then apply the theory by measuring the information contained in a large comparative dataset describing the presence or absence of technological modes across Late Pleistocene modern human assemblages. We find that technological modes tend to have little conditional dependency with one another, suggesting that lithic assemblages do have relatively high information content.
岩屑组合的含量有多惊人?如果一个考古学家在欧亚大陆的某个地方挖掘了一个考古遗址,发现了勒瓦卢瓦核心技术的证据,这将有多令人惊讶?新组合的内容令人惊讶,这是地下的功能,以及我们对史前的先验知识。当另一个遗址被挖掘出来时,我们对过去的理解有多大的提高?答案是测量岩石组合中包含的信息。我们介绍了信息论的入门,它提供了概念化、测量和分析信息所必需的工具。然后,我们通过测量大型比较数据集中包含的信息来应用该理论,该数据集描述了晚更新世现代人类组合中技术模式的存在或缺失。我们发现,技术模式之间的条件依赖性较小,表明岩屑组合确实具有较高的信息含量。

Intercomparison of Form, Size and Allometry in a Million-year-old and Modern Replicated Handaxe Set 百万年前和现代复制手斧组的形状、尺寸和异径比对

ABSTRACT We report here on an intercomparison between two large handaxe sets – one from a million-year-old site in Africa, the other a modern set made for experimental purposes. Our investigation was designed primarily to determine whether ancient handaxe series have measurable characteristics which tend not to appear in replica sets (and vice versa). We also wished to compare the fields of form variation in the two sets. The particular comparison was chosen because the two sets present similar numbers of handaxes (∼500) from well-defined cultural and raw material contexts, experimental and ancient. We conclude that modern replica sets can approximate ancient material well, offering meaningful “toolkits” for experimental work, but some differences also suggest that original Acheulean sets were influenced by functional and cultural factors which are not immediately obvious. Some allometric shifts present in the ancient set were found to occur also in the replica set, whereas others did not. Some of these variations can be emulated and incorporated in future experimental work.
摘要:我们在这里报道了两套大型手斧的相互比较——一套来自非洲一个有百万年历史的遗址,另一套是用于实验目的的现代手斧。我们的调查主要是为了确定古代手斧系列是否具有可测量的特征,这些特征往往不会出现在复制品集中(反之亦然)。我们还希望比较这两组中形式变化的领域。之所以选择这种特殊的比较,是因为这两套作品的手斧数量相似(~500),来自明确定义的文化和原材料背景,包括实验和古代。我们得出的结论是,现代复制品集可以很好地接近古代材料,为实验工作提供了有意义的“工具包”,但一些差异也表明,原始的阿舍利集受到了功能和文化因素的影响,而这些因素并不是立即明显的。一些存在于古代集合中的异速移也发生在复制集合中,而另一些则没有。这些变化中的一些可以被模拟并纳入未来的实验工作中。

ABSTRACT This paper discusses the results of a detailed analysis of the lithic assemblages from four key sites in the Lower-Scheldt basin of NW Belgium in the context of the Neolithization process beyond the agro-pastoral frontier of the European loess area. The study demonstrates both continuity and change in raw material use, lithic technology and the toolkit throughout the 5th and early 4th millennium cal BC, supporting the theory of acculturation of indigenous hunter-gatherers under the influence of southern farming groups.

ABSTRACT The life of tools in lithic assemblages from European Middle Paleolithic sites reveal different processes of dilation, such as ramification (the use of a flake as a production matrix, from which a second and sometimes even a third tool is produced) and tool on core (TOC), core on tool (COT) and core on flake (COF) processes, with the presence of resharpening tools and the presence of double patinas as further evidence. Technological studies suggest that items in a lithic assemblage have gone through function changes (through reuse or recycling), but only use-wear analysis can demonstrate what these changes of function have been. Of particular interest is the recycling of cores, which often become tools (retouched or non). In this paper, we analyze several cores recovered in Level 4 of Prado Vargas, in which we demonstrate what their use was after the first function as matrixes of exploitation and flake-production.
欧洲中旧石器时代遗址的石器组合中的工具寿命揭示了不同的扩展过程,如分枝(使用薄片作为生产基质,从中产生第二种甚至第三种工具)和工具对核心(TOC),核心对工具(COT)和核心对薄片(COF)过程,再锐化工具的存在和双铜绿的存在是进一步的证据。技术研究表明,岩屑组合中的物品经历了功能变化(通过再利用或再循环),但只有使用磨损分析才能证明这些功能变化是什么。特别有趣的是核心的回收,它经常成为工具(修饰或未修饰)。本文对Prado Vargas 4层开采的几个岩心进行了分析,论证了它们作为开采和产片基质后的作用。

ABSTRACT Use-wear traces are considered to be material specific. The use of an appropriate reference collection is thus fundamental for interpreting tools' function. To test whether a flint reference collection can be used to interpret the function of non-flint tools, I conducted experiments using chert, dolerite, and quartz endscrapers and flakes. I compared wear traces obtained during the experiment with use-wear on experimental flint tools exposed to the same variables (motion, contact material, time). The results highlighted strong similarities in the characteristics and distribution of traces on chert and flint. Dolerite and quartz differ from flint, especially regarding the distribution and appearance of use-polish. However, shared traits were observed in all the raw materials involved in this experiment, demonstrating a certain degree of comparability between use-wear traces on flint and non-flint rocks. Based on the data, a flint reference collection can allow a basic interpretation of use-wear also on different rocks.
摘要使用磨损痕迹被视为特定材料。因此,使用适当的参考资料集是解释工具功能的基础。为了测试燧石参考集合是否可以用于解释非燧石工具的功能,我使用燧石、粗玄岩和石英刮头器和薄片进行了实验。我将实验期间获得的磨损痕迹与暴露于相同变量(运动、接触材料、时间)的实验燧石工具的使用磨损进行了比较。研究结果突出了燧石和燧石上痕迹的特征和分布的强烈相似性。白云石和石英不同于燧石,特别是在使用抛光剂的分布和外观方面。然而,在本实验中涉及的所有原材料中都观察到了共同的特征,这表明燧石和非燧石上的使用磨损痕迹具有一定程度的可比性。根据这些数据,燧石参考资料可以对不同岩石的使用磨损进行基本解释。

Filling in the Blanks: Standardization of Lithic Flake Production Throughout the Stone Age 填补空白:整个石器时代石片生产的标准化

ABSTRACT Standardization can be applied to a lithic assemblage via raw material selection, blank production, blank selection, and/or retouch. Here we explore the baseline level of morphological standardization achievable through blank production alone. By quantifying how little morphological variability is inherently involved in different blank-producing lithic technologies that span much of the Stone Age, we seek to gain a long-term perspective on the evolution of lithic standardization. 728 flakes were knapped from 26 cores of 7 different lithic technologies: bipolar, multiplatform, discoidal, Levallois, direct percussion prismatic blade, indirect percussion prismatic blade, and pressure prismatic blade. Using generalized Procrustes analyses of blank outlines, we observed three noticeable jumps in shape standardization: between bipolar and free-hand flaking, between flake and blade technologies, and between the percussive blade and pressure blade technologies. Technologies that involve more skill and more investment in core preparation appear to create a more standardized set of blanks.
摘要标准化可以通过原材料选择、毛坯生产、毛坯选择和/或修整应用于石器组合。在这里,我们探索了仅通过空白生产即可实现的形态标准化的基线水平。通过量化跨越石器时代大部分时间的不同坯料生产石器技术中固有的微小形态变异,我们试图对石器标准化的演变有一个长期的视角。从7种不同的石器技术的26个岩芯中取出728片薄片:双极、多平台、盘状、左旋、直接冲击棱柱刀片、间接冲击棱柱刀片和压力棱柱刀片。使用毛坯轮廓的广义Procrustes分析,我们观察到形状标准化的三个显著跳跃:双极和徒手剥落之间,薄片和刀片技术之间,以及冲击刀片和压力刀片技术之间。在核心准备方面需要更多技能和更多投资的技术似乎可以创造出一套更标准化的空白。

Technologies that involve more skill and more investment in core preparation appear to create a more standardized set of blanks.","PeriodicalId":45597,"journal":{"name":"Lithic Technology","volume":"48 1","pages":"222 - 236"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46983164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT This paper presents the geochemical and petrographic characterization, along with the macroscopic observations, of several cherts from the central region of the Mediterranean Iberia. To determine the microfacies and microtextural features, thin-section samples were analyzed using polarizing light microscopy (PLM) and scanning electron microscopy coupled with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (SEM/EDX). Geochemical analyses were performed using instrumental neutron activation analyses (INAA). With the data, multivariate statistical analysis by means of hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal components analysis (PCA) was applied to the chemical variables to identify clusters among the chert samples. The results showed different geochemical features between cherts concerning major, minor, and trace elements. Archaeological samples from different sites demonstrated lithic raw material circulation and, thus, human mobility in the central region of Mediterranean Iberia during the Middle and Upper Paleolithic.
摘要本文介绍了伊比利亚地中海中部地区几种燧石的地球化学和岩相特征,以及宏观观测结果。为了确定微相和微观结构特征,使用偏光显微镜(PLM)和扫描电子显微镜结合能量色散X射线光谱仪(SEM/EDX)对薄片样品进行了分析。使用仪器中子活化分析(INAA)进行地球化学分析。利用这些数据,通过层次聚类分析(HCA)和主成分分析(PCA)对化学变量进行多元统计分析,以识别燧石样品中的聚类。结果表明,燧石在主元素、微量元素和微量元素方面具有不同的地球化学特征。来自不同遗址的考古样本表明,旧石器时代中期和晚期,伊比利亚地中海中部地区的石器原材料流通,以及人类的流动性。
