The Aurignacian tool industry is characterized by worked bone or antler points with grooves cut in the bottom. Their flint tools include fine blades and bladelets struck from prepared cores rather than using crude flakes. [10]
The Aurignacian culture was marked by a great diversification and specialization of tools, including the invention of the burin, or engraving tool, that made much of the art possible. The Aurignacian differs from other Upper Paleolithic industries mainly in a preponderance of stone flake tools rather than blades.
Compared with earlier Paleolithic cultures, Aurignacian stone tools reflect (a) an increase in the number of end scrapers, (b) an overall reduction of resharpened blades, and (c) the emergence of carinated and Dufour-type bladelets.
8 Μαρ 2017 · The Aurignacian period (40,000 to 28,000 years ago) is an Upper Paleolithic stone tool tradition, usually considered associated with both Homo sapiens and Neanderthals throughout Europe and parts of Africa.
During the Early Aurignacian, the lithic equipment was based mainly on the independent production of two categories of blanks: blades, widely used for the diversified domestic toolkit (mainly endscrapers and retouched blades) and bladelets, used for making hunt ing weapons such as lateral armatures for equipping projectiles (Bon, 2002; O ...
The Aurignacian is represented in material terms by the production of tools developed from blades and points, with highly specific bone tool techniques associated with the development of a wide range of symbolic expression: personal ornamentation, portable and cave art.
26 Οκτ 2020 · Formal tools used as decisive criteria to identifying the Aurignacian are: Carinated scrapers – bladelet cores mostly effectuated on thick flakes that may have also been used as tools.
