ABSTRACT

The interest of this paper lies in the analysis of variability detected within the group of splintered pieces, establishing distinctions within this broad category. A technological and traceological reading has been used for this purpose. These analyses have been applied to two geographically distant, chronologically disparate assemblages, which make up our case study, Grotta della Serratura, (Italy) and Cueva de Nerja (Spain). Addressing these assemblages together has allowed us to compare the different contexts in which they developed. We have found that the presence of these pieces can be correlated with different points in the chaîne opératoire, knapping, retouch or use; they may all be found at the same site or may be the consequence of a single phase. We have taken these sites as the basis for defining the different categories. This work is therefore intended to be used as a reference for researchers studying lithic assemblages containing such pieces.

摘要

本文的兴趣在于分析在碎片组中检测到的变异性，在这一广泛的类别中建立区别。为此目的使用了技术和轨迹读数。这些分析已应用于两个地理上相距遥远、年代不同的组合，它们构成了我们的案例研究，Grotta della Serratura（意大利）和 Cueva de Nerja（西班牙）。将这些组合放在一起使我们能够比较它们发展的不同背景。我们发现这些作品的存在可以与chaîne opératoire中的不同点相关联、敲打、修饰或使用；它们可能都在同一地点发现，也可能是单个阶段的结果。我们已将这些站点作为定义不同类别的基础。因此，这项工作旨在作为研究包含此类碎片的岩屑组合的研究人员的参考。
