ABSTRACT

In situ archaeological assemblages are scarce. Most artefacts are affected by post-depositional processes, which complicate the identification of human factors involved in the formation of lithic workshops, such as hand laterality, knapping positions, and knapping expertise. In this regard, experimental archaeology can reproduce past processes to test present hypotheses. In this study, experimental knapping processes were carried out to examine how techniques and methods learned by experience can affect waste flake assemblages. Our results show that, in addition to knapping position, experience affects both flake measurements and spatial distribution. The techniques applied, the knappers’ skill and the control of the application of force all affect spatial flake distribution. However, flakes do not exhibit any preferential orientation, contrary to those affected by some post-depositional factors. The experimental design and results could contribute to the ability to discern Palaeolithic in situ assemblages as well as some human factors that affect their formations.

诀窍,或敲击经验如何影响史前石器作坊

摘要

就地考古组合稀少。大多数文物都受到沉积后过程的影响,这使得确定参与石器作坊形成的人为因素变得复杂,例如手偏侧、敲打位置和敲打专业知识。在这方面,实验考古学可以重现过去的过程来检验目前的假设。在这项研究中,进行了实验性敲打过程,以检查从经验中学到的技术和方法如何影响废片组合。我们的结果表明,除了敲击位置外,经验还会影响薄片测量和空间分布。应用的技术、敲击者的技能和对力量施加的控制都影响空间薄片分布。然而,薄片不表现出任何优先取向,与受一些沉积后因素影响的情况相反。实验设计和结果有助于识别旧石器时代原位组合以及一些影响其形成的人为因素。
