A two-year geo-archaeological survey of the Stélida chert source on Naxos (Cycladic islands) has documented Middle Palaeolithic activity across the site, both near the best quality chert outcrops and in front of two small rockshelters. The material is dominated by products from a discoidal core technology, followed by Levallois flake and blade industries. The assemblage part-relates to the Denticulate Mousterian, which in Greece – along with Levallois technologies – are exclusively related with...
Re-worked Artifacts and Models of Raw Material Exploitation as Indicators for Settlement Duration on Middle Palaeolithic Sites in the Highlands of Central Europe (2017)
Short-term settlement of Middle Palaeolithic hunters leaves a specific tool kit on an archaeological site. In spite of this well known fact, in some cases, concerning the duration of stay of groups of Neanderthals, mere techno-typological analysis of inventories seems insufficient. Analysis of raw materials exploitation, combined with information about long use, or re-working of certain artifacts appears to be helpful. On most sites from the Middle Palaeolithic era, archaeological data,...
