The approaches presented show the range of analysis of prehistoric stone artefacts in German-speaking countries. Simple application examples illustrate the possibilities and limitations of each method. The content and structure of the essentials is identical to teaching units for learning methods of stone artefact analysis at the University of Tübingen in the Department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology. The content ● Attribute, transformation and working stage analysis ● Chaîne opératoire approach ● Analysis of techno-functional units ● Microscopic use-wear analysis The target groups ● Students and lecturers of archaeology and prehistory ● Lay people interested in archaeology and stone tools About the authors: Yvonne Tafelmaier is consultant for Palaeolithic and Mesolithic at the State Office for Cultural Heritage Baden-Wuerttemberg. Guido Bataille is consultant in the World Heritage department at the State Office for Cultural Heritage Baden-Wuerttemberg. Viola C. Schmid and Andreas Taller are research assistants at the Department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology at the University of Tübingen. Manuel Will is a lecturer at the Department of Early Prehistory and Quaternary Ecology at the University of Tübingen. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. ER -
