P. Biagi, B.A. Voytek 2018 - THE CHIPPED STONE ASSEMBLAGES FROM ARMA DELL’AQUILA (FINALE LIGURE, SAVONA)

The chipped stone assemblage from the excavations carried out by C. Richard at Arma dell’Aquila consists of a small number of artefacts retrieved from both the Neolithic and Upper Palaeolithic (Early Epigravettian and Aurignacian) layers. The artefacts were obtained from several raw material sources, which varied according to the different occupation periods. The industry has been studied from both typological and traceological points of view, in order to interpret the local or non-local manufacture of the chipped stone tools, and understand the activities carried out throughout the different periods during which the site was settled.
