Description
Upper Paleolithic groups used the open-air site of Solutre (Saone-et-Loire, south-eastern France) as a location to intercept and hunt horse and reindeer herds. While it is clear that killing and butchering these animals were the principal site activities, differences in the compsition of the recovered lithic assemblages from the different cultural components suggest variability in secondary site activities and lithic tool use over time. In this report William Banks tests this interpretation using high-power use-wear methods to evaluate the relative extent of variability in tool use.
