Overview

Case study reveals diverse technological traces on bone artefacts from the Mesolithic era, suggesting cultural evolution.

Key Points

  • Ten main types of technological traces were identified on the bone artefacts, indicating complex techniques in tool-making.
  • The analysis highlighted the transition from Mesolithic to Neolithic practices, with drilling becoming more common in the later period.
  • Experimental and traceological analysis provided insights into the production methods of the Upper Volga region.
  • Distinctive cuts observed suggest variations in tool-making practices and the cultural significance of artistic finishing.
