对石器材料进行热处理是人类进化和考古学中的一个关键和激烈辩论的主题，代表了一项重大的技术创新。这种材料的工程已经证明很难用考古数据来证明，尽管实验数据支持来自南部非洲的早期记录。从早期现代人类从非洲迁徙到沿着从巽他到萨胡尔的迁徙路线的记录中，很少有热处理的证据。在澳大利亚考古学中发现的漫长的文化序列很少被评估为热处理，尽管它在近代被土著人民实践。利用现代土著知识和最新的热处理识别方法的全面审查，我们评估了更新世到全新世的记录，跨越约47,000年，故意热处理的信号。我们发现明确的证据表明，热处理只发生在全新世中期至晚期，对应的时间发生了重大变化。我们讨论了这些研究结果有关石器技术作为一种适应性反应不断变化的环境，经济和社会背景。我们独特的方法为史前故意热处理的研究提供了全球相关性，并参与了技术组织理论的全球辩论。
The deliberate heat treatment of lithic material for stone tools is a critical and hotly debated subject in human evolution and archaeology, representing a major technological innovation. This engineering of material has proven hard to demonstrate with archaeological data, although experimental data back early records from southern Africa. There is scant evidence of heat treatment from records representing early modern human migrations out of Africa and along the migration routes through Sunda to Sahul. The long cultural sequences found in Australian archaeology, have rarely been assessed for heat treatment, although it was practised in recent times by Indigenous peoples. Using modern Indigenous knowledge and a comprehensive review of the latest heat treatment identification methods, we assess a Pleistocene to Holocene record spanning some 47,000 years, for signals of deliberate heat treatment. We find unambiguous evidence for heat treatment to occur only in the mid to late Holocene, corresponding to a time of significant change. We discuss these findings concerning stone tool technology as an adaptive response to changing environmental, economic and social contexts. Our unique approach offers global relevance to the study of deliberate heat treatment in prehistory and engages with global debates on technological organization theory.
