We describe a tanged point and a blade technology from Rubha Port an t-Seilich, Isle of Islay, Scotland that provides further support to a Late Pleistocene or Early Holocene presence in Scotland prior to the establishment of the narrow blade Mesolithic industry. The existing evidence for a Late Pleistocene or early Holocene presence comes from isolated finds of tanged points (Tiree, Shieldig, Brodgar), undated assemblages from disturbed contexts that are most likely Late Pleistocene in date (Howburn, Kilmefort Cave), and undated assemblages containing broad blade microliths (e.g., Glenbatrick, Morton). This article provides a summary of recent excavations and the stratigraphy at Rubha Port an t-Seilich, and a detailed analysis the lithic blade blank production at the site, which is, we believe, the first application of a chaine operatoire based approach to a Scottish assemblage. The study includes comparisons with contemporary assemblages from north-western Europe. The significance of the Rubha Port an t-Seilich finds is threefold: (1) the relative large size of the assemblage that allows a technological analysis; (2) the finds partially derive from a stratified context below a narrow blade assemblage, associated with radiocarbon dates 9301-7750 cal. BP; and (3) further excavation can increase the sample size and potentially expose an in situ Late Pleistocene or early Holocene cultural horizon.

来自苏格兰西部艾莱岛的Rub-Port t-Seilich的纠结点和两种刀片技术

我们描述了苏格兰Islay岛Islay的t-Seilich的Rubha Port t-Seilich的纠结点和刀片技术,该技术为建立窄刀片中石器时代工业之前在苏格兰的晚更新世或全新世早期提供了进一步的支持。晚更新世或全新世早期存在的现有证据来自缠结点的孤立发现(Tiree,Shieldig,Brodgar),受干扰的环境中的不合时代组合(很可能是晚更新世)(Howburn,Kilmefort Cave)以及包含宽叶片微石(例如Glenbatrick,Morton)。本文提供了最近对t-Seilich港口Rubha的发掘和地层的摘要,并详细分析了该地点的石板坯毛坯生产,我们相信,基于链歌剧的方法在苏格兰组合中的首次应用。这项研究包括与西北北欧当代艺术家的比较。t-Seilich发现的Rubha Port的意义有三方面:(1)组件相对较大,可以进行技术分析;(2)这些发现部分来自狭窄叶片组合下的分层背景,与放射性碳年代为9301-7750 cal有关。BP; (3)进一步挖掘可能会增加样本数量,并有可能暴露出晚更新世或全新世早期的文化视野。(1)组件相对较大,可以进行技术分析;(2)这些发现部分来自窄叶片组合下的分层背景,与放射性碳年代为9301-7750 cal有关。BP; (3)进一步挖掘可能会增加样本数量,并有可能暴露出晚更新世或全新世早期的文化视野。(1)组件相对较大,可以进行技术分析;(2)这些发现部分来自窄叶片组合下的分层背景,与放射性碳年代为9301-7750 cal有关。BP; (3)进一步挖掘可能会增加样本数量,并有可能暴露出晚更新世或全新世早期的文化视野。
