Summary: | Investigations of the lithic industry of the Late Neolithic period are to date still limited. The detailed analysis of more than 35,000 lithic artifacts presented here answers questions regarding raw material procurement and economy, the development of tool kits, and the organization of processes of lithic production at a Late Neolithic settlement. Untersuchungen zur Steingeräteindustrie des Spätneolithikums sind bislang spärlich vertreten. Die detaillierte Analyse von mehr als 35.000 lithischen Artefakten soll Fragen der Rohmaterialbeschaffung und -ökonomie, der Entwicklung des Werkzeugkastens sowie der Organisation und Produktion einer Siedlung dieses Zeitabschnitts nachgehen. |
