Remontage d’un nucléus à lames gravettien à Huccorgne : aspects d’une chaîne opératoire

Abstract

A blade core of Maastrichtian Hesbaye flint from the Gravettian site of Huccorgne, Southeast Belgium, was refitted to twenty-nine blade fragments, flakes, and pieces of debris. Technological analysis of the lithic operatory chain involved in the reduction of this core, as well as material analysis of internal fissures, suggest that the core was reduced during at least two episodes in spatially discrete portions of the archaeological site. The temporal period between reductions is unknown, but it is posited that the internal crack propagation was the product of exposure to severe cold at the beginning of the Last Glacial Maximum.
