Multimodal elemental analysis: A unique tool for the provenance of radiolarite artefacts
Original language description
Tracing the provenance of lithic artefacts to reconstruct the movements, territories, and social relations of Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers is an important part of modern archaeometry. To estimate the provenance of radiolarites, a type of fine-grained silica rocks, we have developed and validated a multimodal statistical approach consisting of visual examination and elemental analysis. The determination of main and trace elementswith portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LAICP- MS) allowed us to separate Central European radiolarites into one of three groups of close geographical proximity or, using LA-ICP-MS and multimodal approach, into six groups, ranging from the Northern Calcareous Alps to the eastern edge of the Pieniny Klippen Belt. It emerged that the ten analysed radiolarite artefactscollected at the Nov'a Dvedina I Aurignacian site originated from the Slovak-Polish region, thus confirming the hypothesis that Moravian (Czech Republic) Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherers periodically moved towards the mountainous Pieniny Klippen Belt area.
