Last Glacial Maximum retouchers in Southwest Europe

Résumé

The unworked bone industry encompasses a collection of domestic tools resulting from unplanned long-term production, primarily due to two main factors: first, their rapid production attributed to their low or nonexistent degree of transformation, and second, the abundance of available raw materials. In the case of retouchers, their expedient nature is reflected in the low degree of surface work, which is nonexistent in most cases. Furthermore, the identification of waste products if they exist, is impossible to differentiate between other bone fragments, so technologically, we cannot a priori speak of other product categories involved in their manufacture. In this study, we present the results obtained from the analysis of sequences corresponding to the Last Glacial Maximum from the collections of Abri Fritsch, Abri Lachaud (France), Hort de Cortés-Volcán del Faro, and Cova del Parpalló (Spain). Although the number of artefacts is small across the four collections, they reflect various technological and economic aspects related to this period, which we will define in four aspects: - Identified raw material and its relationship to the hunted fauna. - Description of technological stigmata and morphometric features. - Identification and description of use-wear traces and their distribution on the blanks. - Implications for the overall bone industry and the economy of the Last Glacial Maximum in southwestern Europe.
