中石器时代的锥的形式和宏观磨损已被用来推断功能,这已成为一个方面的既定类型学。然而,需要验证形式/功能关系,以确保类型学是稳健的。本文介绍了英国星星卡尔中石器时代早期遗址出土的54件燧石锥的GIS和微磨损分析结果,并结合对锥使用的实验研究结果。结果扩展了之前的发现,即在星星卡尔的一系列活动中使用了尖锥,反映在识别出的不同工作接触材料中;包括矿物、木材、骨骼和皮革。该实验方案提供了重要的见解,宏观尖部修改与不同的接触材料,不同的时间长度的工作。发现在星星卡尔样品中尖端折断率较高。与微磨损结果一起整合的尖锥位置的GIS图显示,大多数尖锥是从现场西部回收的,簇由不同的接触材料组成。附近的兽皮和页岩工作可能表明生产服装贴花珠。微磨损,实验考古学和GIS的结合适用于其他中石器时代遗址,并有可能扩大我们的知识的空间结构的工具使用行为。此外,这些方法的组合使用使得能够更好地理解尖锥类型学:提供了一种独立评估工具形态和使用之间关系的方法。
The form and macroscopic wear of Mesolithic awls has been used to infer function, which has become an aspect of established typologies. However, verification of form/function relationships are needed to ensure typologies are robust. This paper presents the results of GIS and microwear analysis of 54 flint awls excavated from the Early Mesolithic site of Star Carr, UK, in conjunction with results from experimental research on awl use. Results expand on previous findings that awls were used for a range of activities at Star Carr, reflected in the different worked contact materials identified; including mineral, wood, bone, and hide. The experimental programme provided important insights into macroscopic tip modification of awls working with different contact materials for different lengths of time. Rates of tip snapping were found to be high in the Star Carr sample. GIS plots of awl location integrated alongside the microwear results show that the majority of awls were recovered from the west of the site, with clusters composed of different contact materials. The proximity of hide and shale working may suggest the production of clothing with appliqué beads. The combination of microwear, experimental archaeology, and GIS is applicable to other Mesolithic sites and holds potential to expand our knowledge of the spatial structuring of tool-using behaviours. Moreover, combined use of these methods has enabled greater understanding of awl typologies: providing a means to independently assess the relationship between tool morphology and use.
