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。

ABSTRACT Humans are specialized in eye-hand coordination through a complex visuospatial system. When a tool is observed, the motor areas of the brain are activated and, when grasped, it is sensed as a part of the body. One approach to understanding the underlying mechanisms behind this process regards the analysis of visual attention. Vision influences the spatial interaction with tools and plays a crucial role in the perception of an object’s affordances. In this study, we employ eye-tracking technology to investigate whether Lower Palaeolithic stone tool morphology influences visual attention during visual exploration and manipulation. Our results suggest that the handaxe morphology has a moderate influence on the visual scanning of the tool. In contrast, visual exploration of the chopper is only influenced by the weight of the tool. The different visual behaviours exerted by these two technologies suggest divergences in the visuospatial process underlying the interaction with these tools.

ABSTRACT Abundant obsidian prismatic blade segments in late (Late Postclassic/Colonial; ca. AD 1300–1700) lowland Maya lithic assemblages, generally ignored, are evaluated against the possibility that they were used in macanas, broadsword-like weapons resembling the Aztec macuahuitl, as attested by Spanish chroniclers. Measurements of 4,664 segments, proximal, medial, and distal, from seven sites around the central Peten (Guatemala) lakes, plus Tipu and Santa Rita Corozal (Belize) and Mayapan (Yucatan, Mexico), were analyzed. Segment dimensions are highly variable, both within and between sites, but appear to have had two modal sizes, rectangular (minimally 12 × 8 mm) and smaller and squarish (around 10–12 mm square). Macanas themselves also may have been made in two sizes, small and large. Although it cannot be proven that the segments were used in Maya macanas, the possibility warrants further study.

ABSTRACT The central Narmada valley (CNV) is well-known for yielding rich Paleolithic and fossil sites in the Indian Subcontinent. The earliest dated evidence in the CNV is at least 800 Ka old, and out of all Paleolithic technologies, Acheulean is most represented. In the absence of absolute dates, lithic technology has been provisionally used here as a criterion for defining the relative chrono-cultural affinities of the Paleolithic sites. Here, we present the assemblage from Pandado, a newly discovered Acheulean occurrence in the northern part of the valley. This site lies in close proximity to Pilikarar, known for its rich occurrence of Early Acheulean assemblages. Pandado is represented by two lithic localities, which has yielded 279 artifacts from surface and in situ stratified contexts. Typo-technological analysis and comparative data from other Indian Acheulean sites have been used. Based on the results, the data indicates that Pandado is closely associated with Early Acheulean technology.

ABSTRACT As for every aspect in our daily lives, in the past two decades a digital turn has stormed Archaeology. More specifically, in the field of Palaeolithic research, 3D recording methods are currently starting to become an established standard in the documentation, study and analysis of lithic artefacts. Once made available to public, the DISAPALE project will represent one of the largest 3D-models repository of lithic artefact: after introducing the project, its goals and main characteristics, the paper first contextualizes the specific nature of the blank material in relation to the 3D recording techniques, and then presents a significant example of the workflow that has been implemented during the DISAPALE project and a comparison between 3D models of three objects realized with two different methods, briefly discussing their relative pros and cons.
