Changes in hafting practices during the Middle Stone Age at Ifri n’ Ammar

摘要: Abstract The present use wear and residue analysis aims at identifying hafting practices during the Middle Stone Age Ifri n’Ammar to improve insight in assemblage variability through time. Particular attention was devoted characteristics of tanged non-tanged tools determine whether these morphological varieties were linked with different prehensile modes. functional evidence suggests that process seemed be embedded technical system, not restricted specific tool morphologies, or functions, but concerned a variety types which is particularly relevant for better comprehension Aterian. Moreover, detailed traces identified integration animal materials within stone as key factor changes morphologies
