Abstract

The assemblage is composed of 9687 pieces and the main lithic categories are chips, flakes, indeterminate pieces, blades and microblades, cores, tools and debitage. A section on raw materials is followed by detailed accounts of cores then tools (arrowheads, knives, scrapers, piercers, notched and denticulated pieces, pieces with invasive retouch or edge retouch, a fabricator, hammerstones). The section on technology considers the acquisition of new materials, core preparation, blank preparation and secondary preparation.
