The Role of Transferable Techniques in the Process of Innovation in the Paleolithic

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Interdisciplinary Research into the Late Pleistocene of Europe" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

This paper will evaluate the role of transferable techniques in Paleolithic technical innovations. I shall consider the interlocking technical aspects of mastic, ceramic, ground food, and pigment production, together with the technical overlaps in working wood and osseous materials. In addition, I shall consider the potential local availability of key raw materials, and the implications for direct procurement, exchange, and curation.
