A morphometric and functional dataset on the lithic points from the Upper Palaeolithic site of Maisières-Canal (Province of Hainaut, Belgium)

The Early Upper Palaeolithic open-air site Maisières-Canal (Hainaut, Belgium), dated to 28,000 BP/31,500 cal BP, has yielded a notable assemblage of well-preserved lithic points. These artefacts have been a subject of recent technological and use-wear studies aimed at reconstructing their production sequence and function. Here, we provide complementary morphometric data for the entire set of the main morphological types of points and other artefacts included in these studies, together with tool use interpretations as reported in previous published and unpublished works. ; 1
