Méthodes, objectifs and flexibilité d’un système de production Levallois dans le Nord de l’Italie
No full textFlexibility of the Levallois method is directly expressed by all combinatorial variants that can occur as regards gesture, single intervention or sequence of interventions, and flaking modality, highlighting a behavioural variability at all the stages of the reduction strategy: raw material selection and beginning of exploitation; production and management; end-product use and shaping; discard. However, due to the still scarce knowledge of technical aims, we deal only partially with the nature of such variants and the controlling factors of the whole production system. In order to provide a new contribution in this sphere, the study of lithic industry of an open-air site is here proposed and discussed.La flexibilité de la méthode Levallois est directement exprimée par la combinaison d’un ensemble de variantes pouvant intervenir au niveau de la gestion, d’une simple intervention ou d’une séquence d’interventions, d’une modalité de débitage, de telle façon qu’une variabilité comportementale peut être mise en évidence à tous les stades du schéma de production : sélection de la matière première et phases initiales, production et entretien, utilisation des produits finis et retouche, abandon. D’autre part, en raison de la connaissance encore limitée des objectifs techniques, nous n’aborderons que partiellement la nature de telles variantes et les facteurs de contrôle du système de production dans son ensemble. Afin d’apporter une nouvelle contribution, l’étude de l’industrie lithique d’un site de plein air est proposée et discutée ici
Criteria for identifying knapping skill level through the analysis of lithic cores : An example from Val Lastari, Late Paleolithic, Italy
No full textThe application of knapping skill analysis has increased over the years, starting from the Eighties and, by now, being employed all over the world on different material cultures and chronological periods. We studied the cores reduced at Val Lastari, a Recent Epigravettian lithic workshop in north-eastern Italy, for recognizing the most influential technological variables to define stoneknapping behaviours. In our case, knapping accidents and cores appearance had more weight than criteria such as core preparation and raw material features thanks to the strategies of exploitation chosen by hunter-gatherers of Val Lastari, and to the ecological context they interacted with. This is the first time that a study of its kind has been proposed for an Italian site, becoming a unique possibility to enrich our knowledge about Epigravettian social learning and organization with new and stimulating information
Valorizzare il Paleolitico. Reti territoriali e buone pratiche
No full textThe Palaeolithic site of Grotta di Fumane, discovered fi fty years ago in the territory of Valpolicella, is an extraordinary testimony to the way
of life of Neanderthal Man and the fi rst Anatomically Modern Men thanks to the rich archaeological evidence found in its fi ll. The data collected are crucial for studying the birth of symbolic thought in Homo sapiens and for comparing it with that of Neanderthals. For several years now, the cave has been the object of intense promotion leading to several projects being shared with a wide local network of organizations. The National Archaeological Museum of Verona will soon host two large rooms dedicated to this important Palaeolithic site, equipped with multimedia stations, explanatory panels, casts and thematic showcases

IV Incontro Annuale di Preistoria e Protostoria. Applicazioni tecnologiche allo studio di contesti paleolitici e mesolitici italiani. IV Annual Meeting of Prehistory and Protohistory. Application of emerging technologies to Italian Palaeolithic and Mesolithic case-studies. Abstract Book
No full textIl IV IAPP organizzato congiuntamente dall’Istituto Italiano di Preistoria e Protostoria e dall’Università
di Ferrara non disattende le aspettative. Il ricco programma del convegno conferma l’interesse della
comunità scientifica verso la Preistoria più antica e il suo impegno a mantenere elevato lo standard della
ricerca archeologica in Italia. Le 27 comunicazioni e i 14 posters che scandiscono le due giornate di
studio (7-8 febbraio 2018) riguardano le Alpi, l’Appennino e le due fasce tirrenica e adriatica, toccando le
diverse fasi del popolamento registrate dai nostri archivi tra il Paleolitico inferiore e la fine del Mesolitico.
Saldamente ancorati a un approccio interdisciplinare, i progetti ospitati in questa riunione scientifica
affrontano aspetti legati all’ecologia preistorica, alle modalità insediative, alla geoarcheologia e alla
geognostica, alla tecnologia e all’economia litica, all’arte e al comportamento simbolico di neandertal
e sapiens. Questi temi sono affrontati attraverso l’illustrazione dei risultati, talora inediti, di attività
di terreno, indagini stratigrafiche, studi e analisi svolti nell’ambito di ricerche strutturate a termine
più o meno lungo. A mantenere il passo con il progresso nel campo delle tecnologie applicate, sono
una dozzina di contributi che ne illustrano il potenziale su evidenze e resti di varia natura ed età. Uno
sguardo sul Paleolitico e il Mesolitico rafforzato, infine, dall’attenzione verso la mediazione culturale
