The origin of chert in the Aurignacian of Vogelherd Cave investigated by infrared spectroscopy.

The analyses of raw material provenance offers the possibility of tracing short and long-distance raw material transport. So far, most studies of raw material of flint and chert in Europe have been based on macroscopic analyses. We apply infrared spectroscopy to Aurignacian assemblages from Vogelher...
