Abstract The preparation of samples for traceological analysis is a key methodological aspect in the correct interpretation use-wear; however, it often poorly reflected archaeological literature. treatment osseous tissues particularly overlooked, and receives even less attention than lithic raw materials. presence residues contaminants on surface artefacts can conceal or be mistaken use-wear features, thereby affecting their interpretation. Therefore, objective this work to contribute...
Osseous industry has been observed at an increasing number of Neanderthal sites. Bone fragments were used for practical purposes, and a range bone shaping techniques employed. The variability tools in different assemblages reflects considerable functional diversity. However, no spear points have reported from these contexts. A comprehensive analysis point the Middle Palaeolithic site Abric Romaní (Barcelona, Spain) is presented. Through interdisciplinary, multi-technique, multi-scale...
Since the origins of technology, human groups have used a wide variety lithic and organic raw materials to make tools. In particular, bone was as material for creating knapped artefacts. Nevertheless, recognition these technological elements in archaeological record has generated some debate, since modern taphonomy shown that certain non-anthropic agents create modifications can mimic For this reason, criteria identifying tools pseudo-tools still not been clearly defined. As contribution...
