Did heat treatment of flints take place in the Moravian Magdalenian? The case of Balcarka Cave

Original language description

Six Magdalenian artefacts from Balcarka Cave (Czech Republic) were selected on the basis of their colour or the presence of lustre and analysed for heat-treatment. A combination of methods was used on the basis of past research. Isothermal remanent magnetism (IRM) proved itself to be the most useful method to distinguish potentially heat-treated artefacts from untreated ones. Four analysed Magdalenian artefacts were most likelynot to have been heat-treated due to the absence of other magnetic phases than magnetite. One further sample was probably burned, heat-treatment of the last artefact is ambiguous. The possible absence of heat-treatment in Moravian caves and in the Magdalenian in general may be due to the absence of pressure flaking in this culture.
