Technology of Moravian Early Szeletian leaf point shaping: A case study of refittings from Moravský Krumlov IV open-air site (Czech Republic)

Original language description

The excavations of multilayer open-air Palaeolithic site of Moravský Krumlov IV (Czech Republic) conducted in 2000e2004 unearthed the places of manufacture of bifacial leaf points in the uppermost archaeological layer 0. Both radiocarbon and OSL dating place the finds within the older phase of the EUP complex. Many of the discovered stone artefacts were put together into technological sequences through the detailed analysis of which we arrived at the reconstruction of a specific manner of production of leaf points based primarily on the endeavour at a maximum reduction in thickness and a minimum reduction of their length and especially width. Although incomplete and unsuccessful artefacts are reminiscent of the Middle Palaeolithic Micoquian backed knives, the general production strategy tended to the manufacture of rather symmetrical leaf points. Leaf points comprising remnants after removal of backs are also preserved at Vedrovice V, a site of similar dating. It seems probable, therefore, that the described method of production of leaf points is characteristic for Early Szeletian in Moravia.
