Experimental knapping and geometry morphometric contributions for the study of quartz lithic technology
The study of quartz as a raw material for the manufacturation of lithic instruments has increased in the last years, with an important development of analytical strategies to understand the technological choices made by ancient flintknappers.

| description |
The study of quartz as a raw material for the manufacturation of lithic instruments has increased in the last years, with an important development of analytical strategies to understand the technological choices made by ancient flintknappers. In our particular case, we have done an experimental approach with the main goal of differentiate between the use of direct knapping and bipolar technique and to compare with the materials recovered from the archaeological sites of El Alto-Ancasti mountains chronologically dated in the second half of the First millennia of the era.
Our goal here is to present new lines of evidence based on the results of experimental approach and lithic assemblages through metric and geometry morphometric analysis. Our hypothesis is that different knapping techniques were performed to obtain diverse blanks to manufacture specific instruments. In this article, we compare the length, width and thickness. In addition, we performed a geometrical morphometric analysis to identify tendencies in blanks used to manufacture different types of instruments. |
