- Abstract:
- Based on the study of two collections from ancient excavations, the Grotte des Morts (Corrèze, France) and Plasenn-al-Lomm (Cotes-d’Armor, France), this paper focus on the description of the variability of the Raysse method through petroarchaeological and technological study of Raysse burins-core and associated by-products. In order to discuss the homogeneity of the Raysse technical tradition through the characterization of the technical variability of the Raysse elements, we propose a reading grid combining technological and petrological criteria. Techno-petrological analysis can also be applied to compare technical concepts such as tertiary modification burins with the Raysse method, wich seems to be technologically linked.
