ABSTRACT Surveys near the village of Stumpertenrod revealed one of the largest Mesolithic assemblages in Germany. As a consequence of agricultural activities, the archaeological layers were partly eroded and the lithic artifact consisted mainly of surface finds. Between 1964 and 1966 Wolfgang Taute – a key-figure for the study of the Mesolithic in Europe – opened a trial-trench. Due to a lack of organic material, the campaign did not lead to the expected outcome and the site slowly fell into oblivion. The following article presents the results of typo-technological analyses of the lithic assemblage discovered in the course of the excavation. It provides new insights into the subsistence strategies of people during the early Holocene and re-integrates this significant site in current frameworks and debates. Furthermore, an interregional comparison of archaeological features and topographic parameters involving modern theoretical and methodological approaches, leads to a better understanding of the Early Mesolithic in the western part of Central Germany.

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic halted scientific research across the world, revealing the vulnerabilities of field-based disciplines to disruption. To ensure resilience in the face of future emergencies, archaeology needs to be more sustainable with international collaboration at the forefront. This article presents a collaborative data collection model for documenting lithics using digital photography and physical measurements taken in-situ by local collaborators. Data capture protocols to optimise standardisation are outlined, and guidelines are provided for data curation, storage and sharing. Adopting collaborative research strategies can have long-term advantages beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, by encouraging knowledge-sharing between international collaborators, decreasing emissions associated with archaeological research, and improving accessibility for those who are not able to travel for access to international samples. This article proposes that archaeology should use the COVID-19 pandemic as a catalyst for change through encouraging deeper collaborations and the development of remote models of science as a complement to in-person research.

ABSTRACT The lithic assemblages recorded from shell middens along the northern coast of Santa Cruz, Argentine Patagonia, reveal some common trends. In general terms, abundant debris, and a few tools and cores have been identified. The lithic assemblages’ general characteristics suggest knapping activities related to intermediate and final stages of the manufacturing sequence linked to the production and maintenance of tools made from local raw materials, such as chert and silicified tuff. Within the framework of the techno-typological similarities registered in the archaeological assemblages from the shell middens, we identified tools with particular morphologies. An example of this were the denticulates. A highlight was the discovery of concentrations of these tools in surface contexts associated with marine resource exploitation. Applying techno-morphological and morphometric analysis we recorded a general pattern of low variation in the denticulates. This suggests high levels of replication fidelity. This theme is developed and discussed here.

ABSTRACT Generally considered diagnostic of Late Prehistoric Toyah assemblages, Perdiz arrow points are characteristic of the transition from the Late Prehistoric to the Protohistoric. If larger Perdiz arrow points from Caddo burials are conceived of as products of trade and/or exchange with Toyah groups, then those with longer blade lengths provide inference to shifts in Caddo selective preference, while those with shorter blade lengths evince local approaches to resharpening and/or retouch that were uniquely Caddo. This study asks whether linear shape variables convey discrete regional resharpening strategies, whether morphological trajectories differ between the northern and southern behavioral regions, and whether morphological disparity differs between larger and smaller size classes, as defined by differences in blade length. Results demonstrate distinct regional resharpening strategies and divergent morphological trajectories for Perdiz arrow points included as Caddo mortuary offerings in the northern and southern behavioral regions.

ABSTRACT After the discovery of Homo erectus remains (circa 1.2 Ma) in Denizli, through examination of their surviving material culture, many sites containing lithics which could be attributed to Homo erectus have been located. It have revealed quartz assemblages in the parts of Denizli connected to the Menderes and Gediz Massif. The assemblages detected in Buldan and Güney associate with Mode 1 and Mode 2 techno-complexes. As the first systematic bipolar knapping study in the Paleolithic of Turkey, techno-typological analyses supported by experimental analyses will be a guide for future studies. As a result of these analyses, bipolar knapping, freehand technique, and the alternate use of both could be suggested as strategies for dealing with environmental raw material limitations or as a technical behavioral choice. In this context, the lithic assemblages in question, with their specific characteristics, shed new light on the dispersal of the early hominins out of Africa.

ABSTRACT The tip cross-sectional area (TCSA) approach is a useful morphometric approach to hypothesise about variation in Stone Age/Palaeolithic weapon-assisted hunting. Lightweight-javelin tips were recently added to the original standardized ranges for stabbing-spear tips, spearthrower-dart tips, and arrow tips, making the method more suitable to hypothesise about variability in ancient stone-tipped hunting strategies. Here I explore aspects around the origins of lightweight-javelin hunting through TCSA analysis. I suggest that MIS 6 is the most likely timing of early lightweight-javelin hunting in southern Africa, and perhaps also in the Levant, and that subsequently this hunting behavior – used in tandem with stabbing spears – probably became increasingly widespread. I also predict that the earliest evidence for lightweight-javelin hunting may come from geographic regions that experience cyclic resource stress and where endurance running is habitual.

ABSTRACT is paper aims to present the first record of micro vegetable remains in grinding-stone tools found in hunter-gatherer contexts located in Laguna Azul (Somuncurá plateau, Argentina). These grinding-stone tools resulted from excavations of two hunting blinds (known as “parapets”) related to late Holocene radiocarbon dates of 1756 ± 28 years BP (D-007084; δ 13C = 20.2‰) and 1906 ± 26 years BP (D-007085; δ 13C = −19.8‰). The combination of micro-wear and starch grains studies allows us to discuss the autochthonous and allochthonous vegetation processing activities. From these remains, four types of vegetation with nutritive potential were identified: Chenopodaceas, Amaranthaceas, Prosopis sp. and Araucaria sp. The grinding stone tools’ microscopic analysis gave evidence of the specific processing motions employed. This evidence-based data enables us to discuss the relationship between the hunter-gatherers and their environment during the late Holocene and also to establish new assumptions about circuits of mobility and communication.

ABSTRACT Lithic dispersions are spreads of various shapes (e.g. tools, preforms, cores, flakes, blades) that have been discarded by stone knappers at similar or various steps of their development. They extend beyond archaeologists’ chronological and spatial boundaries. They hold information on past techniques and practices. To explore that information, archaeologists need to work through the various processes that shaped lithic dispersions. I argue that skill is a process that can help reframe stone knapping to better take into account the dispersion that stone knappers generate. I show how width, thickness and width-by-thickness (W/T) ratios can be used to understand how knappers enacted various levels of skill while working their various bifacial preforms at the dense plowed site of La Martre (Quebec, Canada). This points at ways that archaeologists can work outside of culture-historical, cognitive or mechanistic frameworks to explore past social practices where spatial and chronological control is lacking.

ABSTRACT In the present study, in the first step, we introduce and study the newly-discovered site of Kalateh Mohammad Laleh in Sarbisheh plain and then by combining this collection and the lithic artifacts of the other four sites, namely Kiaram, Khunik, Kalateh Shour and Chehel Dokhtaran, we investigate the main characteristics of their lithic artifacts. Accordingly, in the two collections of Kiaram and Khunik, an industry similar to the Zagros Mousterian industry can be observed and in the other two collections of Kalateh Shour and Chehel Dokhtaran, the dominant Levallois Technique can be traced. Although our studies show a relative correlation between the Kalateh Mohammad Laleh collection and the two collections of Kiaram and Khunik, the sampling error of surface collections should not be ignored. This, along with the lack of stratigraphic evidence, poses serious challenges for achieving a clear picture of the lithic industries of east the Iranian plateau.
摘要在本研究中，我们首先介绍和研究了萨尔比舍平原新发现的卡拉特赫·穆罕默德·拉勒遗址，然后通过将该收藏与其他四个遗址Kiaram、Khunik、卡拉特赫·绍尔和Chehel Dokhtaran的石器文物相结合，探讨了其石器文物的主要特征。因此，在Kiaram和Khunik的两个收藏中，可以观察到类似于Zagros Mousterian工业的工业，而在Kalateh Shour和Chehel Dokhtaran的另外两个收藏，可以追溯到占主导地位的Levallois技术。尽管我们的研究表明，Kalateh Mohammad Laleh藏品与Kiaram和Khunik两个藏品之间存在相对相关性，但不应忽视表面藏品的采样误差。这一点，加上缺乏地层证据，对清晰了解伊朗高原东部的石器工业构成了严重挑战。

ABSTRACT Tepe Abdul Hosein in Khaveh plain, as one of the key sites of early Neolithic in Central Zagros, has been excavated by Judith Pullar. One of the most important data of this site is the stone tools that are currently kept in the warehouse of the National Museum of Iran and apart from Pullar studies, no other work has been done on them so far. In this article, in addition to reviewing the Pullar typology on the tools from the site, it is dedicated to the study of 317 selected stone tools of TAH. The study of the raw material and technological structure of TAH stone tools showed that the production of tools were done in the site.The tradition of making these tools are similar to the tools in other early Neolithic sites of Central Zagros-Kermanshah group-which- can be considered as a continuation of the tradition of M'lefaat.
摘要Judith Pullar在Zagros中部的Khaveh平原发掘了新石器时代早期的重要遗址之一Tepe Abdul Hosein。该遗址最重要的数据之一是目前保存在伊朗国家博物馆仓库中的石器，除Pullar研究外，迄今为止还没有对其进行其他研究。在本文中，除了回顾遗址上石器的Pullar类型外，还专门研究了317件TAH石器。对TAH石器的原材料和工艺结构的研究表明，工具的生产是在现场进行的。制造这些工具的传统与扎格罗斯-克尔曼沙赫中部其他新石器时代早期遗址的工具相似，可以认为是M'lefat传统的延续。
