Identifying bipolar knapping in the Mesolithic site of Font del Ros (northeast Iberia) (original) (raw)

“…Additionally, it has been proposed that pitted stones co-occur with outils écaillés (MacDonald, 1968) and/or bipolar cores (Hayden, 1980;Roda et al, 2015). Based on Leakey and Roe's (1994) report (Table 6), it seems that there are no significant intersite differences in the distribution of pitted stones (x 2 = 2.818, df = 7, p = 0.901) and punches/outils écaillés (x 2 = 1.273, df = 8, p = 0.996) and, indeed, there is a statistically significant correlation between both groups (Pearson's correlation r = 0.621, n = 11, p = 0.041).…”
