The open‐air site Feuersteinacker near Stumpertenrod has yielded one of the largest lithic assemblages in Central Germany. It repeatedly served as a workshop for the production of stone tools during an early phase of the Mesolithic. The range of lithic raw materials is extremely diverse, but until today, there is only a limited number of archaeological studies on the occurrence of lithic resources in the area. The following study presents the first in‐depth investigation of the use of different rock types by Mesolithic hunter–fisher–gatherers at the site. Provenance analyses using petrographic methods permit raw materials to be assigned to a specific source and provide new insights into their formation. Furthermore, this study explores the way in which the materials were processed throughout the reduction sequence. A comparison of topographic parameters suggests that the location was situated on an important transit route during prehistoric times. The presented results contribute to a better understanding of mobility patterns and subsistence strategies of Early Mesolithic groups in Central Germany.

早期中石器时代露天遗址 Feuersteinacker(德国 Vogelsbergkreis)石器原材料的使用



Stumpertenrod 附近的 Feuersteinacker 露天遗址出产了德国中部最大的石器组合之一。在中石器时代早期,它多次作为石器生产的作坊。石器原料的范围极其多样,但直到今天,对该地区石器资源的赋存情况的考古研究仍然有限。以下研究首次对现场中石器时代的狩猎-渔民-采集者使用不同类型的岩石进行了深入调查。使用岩相学方法进行来源分析可以将原材料分配到特定来源,并为其形成提供新的见解。此外,本研究还探讨了在整个还原过程中材料的处理方式。地形参数的比较表明,该位置位于史前时期的重要交通路线上。所提出的结果有助于更好地了解德国中部早期中石器时代群体的流动模式和生存策略。
