Classificazione tecno-morfologica e funzionale delle punte di freccia oleoceniche a ritocco foliato, 2008

Abstract

The techno-functional analyses of Holocene leaf shaped arrowheads - recovered in the sites of the eastern bank of Garda Lake (referring in particular to that ones of Peschiera) - give us a hint for a wider reflexion which brought us to a morphological revision of the forms referred to this "type", even in the light of functional consideration. Up to now the discussion on lithic assemblages cultural meaning has been carried out mostly by recognizing the constraints which influenced and / or determined the typological characters took up by the prehistoric groups for the lithic production. This approach is showing several limits mainly when it is referred to tools where it is clear and univocal the relations between form and function, as the case of arrowheads, which performance is definitely oriented. These armatures, actually portions of a more complex ballistic system, have to hit a long distance target. Our methodological proposal aims at facing the complexity of the productive and transformation processes, considering both the technological and the following functional features and procedures, as the authors already proposed for other contexts. This approach allows as well to avoid possible misinterpretation of the chronological sequence based on "types": to accomplish this attempt herein we propose a different succession for the Holocene leaf shaped arrowheads, based on techno-functional consideration.
