Flintknapping from the Late Glacial to the Early Holocene: The Belgian Scheldt Valley Sites of Ruien and Kerkhove Vandendriessche Hans
This book discusses the lithic technology of the neighboring sites of Ruien and Kerkhove (Belgium). The Early and Middle Mesolithic hunter-gatherers from Kerkhove on the other hand lived in the temperate and forested environments of the subsequent Early Holocene period. The Final-Palaeolithic occupation of Ruien took place during the harsh climatic conditions of the Younger Dryas.
Should we describe it as a period of long-term stability or as a period of technological rupture and innovation? The aim of this work is more precisely to gain a better understanding of how the practice of flintknapping evolved throughout this time period. Can we pinpoint precise moments of change and how are these changes expressed?
In the raw material procurement strategies? In the knapping methods or knapping techniques? Or even in the spatial organization of technological behavior at the sites?To
