“…Parallèlement, la pratique expérimentale de L. Coutier (1929) et de ses successeurs a révélé la pertinence du recours à des matériaux organiques osseux ou ligneux, pour la retouche des bords, le débitage laminaire et le façonnage bifacial. La systématisation des expérimentations a permis de cerner, sur les produits lithiques, des caractères ou des combinaisons de caractères propres à chaque technique (voir notamment Bordes 1947 ;Bordes, Crabtree 1968 ;Crabtree 1970 ;Newcomer 1975 ;Shchelinskiï 1983 ;Texier 1996 ;Pelegrin 2000Pelegrin , 2013Pelegrin , 2019. Rapportés au matériel archéologique, ces indices dessinent, en filigrane, un outillage de taille préhistorique en matières organiques diversifié (percuteurs, punchs, compresseurs) dont peu de spécimens nous sont connus.…”

the centre of the medallion on some specimens and/or the complete disappearance of the convexity of the burr reflect the active part of the hammer reaching exhaustion.The deepest use-wear, often associated with spalls, is generally concentrated at the junction between the medallion and the posterior face of the burr, which experimentally corresponds to the removal of the largest flakes during the first phases of shaping laurel-leaf points, the trimming of the cores, or the removal of the largest blades. However, the distribution of the use-wear traces on the archaeological and experimental samples is not similar, which could indicate different motions, with prehistoric percussion potentially being more tangential.The fact that our experiments were performed by a single knapper makes assessing inter-individual variability impossible (i.e. skill levels, knowledge and mastery of knapping techniques according to the archaeological context, knapper position, prehensile modes for lithic pieces and hammer, knapping motions). These important aspects will be explored in further research.
