Use-wear analysis of personal gear from Milovice IV
Original language description
This work presents a use-wear analysis of a small cluster of blades/bladelets discovered during a rescue excavation at the Middle/Late Gravettian site of Milovice IV in the Czech Republic. The cluster is comprised of 29 artefacts, both retouched and unretouched. The specific context suggests that the items were originally bundled together in a container made of a perishable material. The artefacts were made from raw materials of diverse origins. The use-wear analyses and the techno typological analysis reveal a variety of tool types and activities, indicating that the cluster underwent a complex history of use and recycling. A substantial share of the assemblage exhibited fractures typically associated with projectiles, while other tools showed evidence of cutting, scraping, and drilling. The cluster can be interpreted as personal gear used during hunting expeditions, regularly maintained and occasionally modified until its eventual discard or loss in a residential camp.
