“…Instead, the flint used for reference in this study was sourced directly from the Lower Turonian chalk layers, a primary position. Weathering of flint-bearing carbonaceous layers (carbonate leaching of the host rock) was reported to alter the crystallography of the included flint through dehydroxylation (Fernandes et al 2012). Our archaeometric method is sensitive to the loss of hydroxyl (Schmidt et al 2013), and geological dehydroxylation might result in slightly increased 4545/4469cm −1 ratio values in flint from alteration horizons.…”

Paris 0 km 200 N The laurel-leaf points of the Volgu cache found in eastern France rank among the most remarkable examples of skilled craftsmanship known from the Solutrean period of the Upper Palaeolithic.In addition to pressure flaking, heat treatment may have helped in the making of the points, as both have been previously described in association with Solutrean assemblages. This study presents the results of an infrared spectroscopic analysis of seven artefacts from the Volgu cache conducted to test this assumption. The findings show that heat treatment was not universally applied to this particular tool type, meaning that we must rethink the reasons why such a technique was used.

“…Students of the Palaeolithic are long aware that the Gestalt and configurational properties of stone raw materials can be important factors influencing the makeup and organisation of lithic technology (e.g. Turq 2005;Browne and Wilson 2011;Moncel and Daujeard 2012;Fernandes et al 2013;Raynal et al 2013). Textbook examples such as the bifaces from Swanscombe and West Tofts in Britain (Oakley 1981;Lorblanchet 1999, p. 89-90) or the Mousterian quartzite scraper from Schweinskopf-Karmelenberg in Germany (Schäfer 1996) suggest that raw material saliencesespecially geological inclusions such as fossils-have at least occasionally played a decisive role in the conception, manufacture and design of Palaeolithic stone artefacts (Lorblanchet and Bahn 2017, p. 50-56;Fig.…”

Materiality, Agency and Evolution of Lithic Technology: an Integrated Perspective for Palaeolithic Archaeology

Considerations of materiality and object-oriented approaches have greatly influenced the development of archaeological theory in recent years. Yet, Palaeolithic archaeology has been slow in incorporating this emerging body of scholarship and exploring its bearing on the human deep past. This paper probes into the potential of materiality theory to clarify the material dynamics of the Plio-Pleistocene and seeks to re-articulate the debate on the evolution of our species with materiality discourses in archaeology and the humanities more broadly. We argue that the signature temporalities and geospatial scales of observation provided by the Palaeolithic record offer unique opportunities to examine the active role of material things, objects, artefacts and technologies in the emergence, stabilisation and transformation of hominin lifeworlds and the accretion of long-term trajectories of material culture change. We map three axes of human-thing relations-ecological, technical and evolutionary-and deploy a range of case studies from the literature to show that a critical re-assessment of material agency not only discloses novel insights and questions, but can also refine what we already know about the human deep past. Our exploration underscores the benefits of de-centring human behaviour and intentionality and demonstrates that materiality lends itself as a productive nexus of exchange and mutual inspiration for diverging schools and research interests in Palaeolithic archaeology. An integrated object-oriented perspective calls attention to the human condition as a product of millennial-scale humanthing co-adaptation, in the course of which hominins, artefacts and technologies continuously influenced and co-created each other.

“…Elle démontre également, dès le Paléolithique inférieur, des stratégies hétérogènes de gestion des outils, à usage bref ou au contraire prolongé, destinés à une utilisation locale ou à être transportés, variant selon la qualité de la matière première et la fonction des outils (Meignen et al 2009).
