bifaces

La funzione degli “small tools” nell’ambito delle industrie litiche scheggiate acheuleane della penisola italiana. Il caso studio del sito laziale di Fontana Ranuccio (FR)

Recent technological studies of lithic assemblages from Levantine and European Late Lower Palaeolithic showed that the small size flakes (small tools) found in many sites of this period are relevant technological elements. Their role in the lithic assemblages of the Late Lower Paleolithic allows to reconsider the common idea that the bifaces are the unique techno-cultural markers of the Acheulean chronological and cultural phase.
