Description
In this volume, Christensen outlines a new method for the identification of worked material through its physio-chemical (or mineral and organic) components. This assumes that, in modifying or making tools, micro-fragments of this material would stay at the edge of the tools. Here, tools which were used to work ivory, as opposed to antler and bone, are considered. The analysis combines experimental and archaeological data and takes tow case studies with ivory assemblages, as examples: Geissenklosterle in Germany and Yudinovo in Russia - spanning the period from the early Upper Palaeolithic c.33-37,000 to c.12,000 years ago.
