Flint knapping at the end of an era : final palaeolithic and early mesolithic technological traditions in northwestern Belgium

Our current knowledge on the Lateglacial and Early Holocene technological traditions in Northwestern Belgium relies primarily on quantitative data (attribute analysis) gathered in the past two decades on the Lower Scheldt valley sites of Verrebroek and Doel. This allowed us to forge a first idea of the range of knapping methods and techniques applied during this transitional period and at the same time to link the observed technological schemes to the known typological variability in this region. As part of an ongoing PhD research, the recently excavated Upper Scheldt valley sites of Ruien (Fi... Mehr ...
