Leaf points/bifacial tools: symbolic tools, weapons or something else? Some remarks on Moravian (Czech Republic) bifacial tools
Original language description
Generally speaking, a bifacial tool is usually understood to be a tool of long use-life with a specialfunction. In comparison with, for example, a side scraper, much more time is needed for the fabrication ofa bifacial tool, but the proposed use of these two tools is the same. Some scholars note that a leaf point /bifacial tool represents a tool with high social status, which, on the one hand, is given by the difficulty or skillrequired in its knapping and, on the other, the possible functional variability of using the tool. The excavationof the Moravský Krumlov IV site with Szeletian artefacts in situ has allowed us to perform various analysesduring recent decades and ask ourselves many questions. In the light of the above-mentioned "mainstreamtheory," the question arose as to whether a bifacial tool represents only a symbolic tool or something else. Inthis article, I discuss the role of bifacial tools / leaf points in general and not regarding their specific groups.
