The manipulative complexity of Lower Paleolithic stone toolmaking. by Aldo Faisal, Dietrich Stout, Jan Apel, Bruce Bradley

“…Proper interpretation of these data requires a robust interpretive framework linking archaeological evidence to specific behavioral and cognitive actions.Here we employ a data glove to record manual joint angles in a modern experimental toolmaker (the 4(th) author) replicating ancient tool forms in order to characterize and compare the manipulative complexity of two major Lower Paleolithic technologies (Oldowan and Acheulean). …”

Lower Paleolithic Shaped Stone Balls—What Is Next? Some Cultural–Cognitive Questions by Ella Assaf, Javier Baena Preysler, Emiliano Bruner

“…In this significant era, which was characterised by biological and cultural transformations, these round implements were a stable hallmark throughout the Lower Paleolithic period and beyond. However, while much research progress has been made in other stone tool categories, and despite the increased research efforts in recent years, attempts to define SSB function and typology have remained inconclusive, and broader cultural and cognitive aspects related to their production techniques, use and dispersal have yet to be explored in depth. …”

Shaped stone balls were used for bone marrow extraction at Lower Paleolithic Qesem Cave, Israel. by Ella Assaf, Isabella Caricola, Avi Gopher, Jordi Rosell, Ruth Blasco, Oded Bar, Ezra Zilberman, Cristina Lemorini, Javier Baena, Ran Barkai, Emanuela Cristiani

“…Notably, the patina observed on the analyzed items precedes their use at the cave, indicating that they were collected by Qesem inhabitants, most probably from older Lower Paleolithic Acheulian sites. Thus, our results refer only to the final phases of the life of the items, and we cannot attest to their original function. …”

Predetermined flake production at the Lower/Middle Paleolithic boundary: Yabrudian scraper-blank technology. by Ron Shimelmitz, Steven L Kuhn, Avraham Ronen, Mina Weinstein-Evron

“…These scraper dominated assemblages show an organization of production based on an intensive use of predetermination blank technology already in place at the end of the Lower Paleolithic of the Levant. These results provide a novel perspective on the differences and similarities between the Lower and Middle Paleolithic industries. …”
