Abstract

Bone tools from Taforalt Cave constitute the largest North African Later Stone Age (LSA) bone tool technocomplex recovered to-date. Use-trace analyses show that the small, pointed forms which dominate the assemblage show microtopographic patterning consistent with ethnographic bone tools used to make coiled basketry. The presence of coiled basketry likely scaffolded emergent cultural forms reflected in increased sedentism, resource intensification, and greater population density at Taforalt. This study explores the relationship between coiled basketry and archaeologically co-occurring technologies. Ethnographic analogies derived from Indigenous Californian groups provide a model for how resource-specific collection, processing, storage, and preparation requirements may have been supported technologically.

北非旧石器时代盘式篮子生产的骨工具代用证据

来自Taforalt洞穴的骨工具构成了迄今为止发现的最大的北非晚石器时代(LSA)骨工具技术综合体。使用痕迹分析表明，在组合中占主导地位的小而尖的形式显示出与用于制作盘式篮子的民族志骨工具一致的微观地形图案。在Taforalt，盘曲编织的存在很可能支撑了一些新兴的文化形式，这些文化形式反映了定居主义的增加、资源的集约化和更高的人口密度。本研究探讨盘式编织与考古共发生技术之间的关系。来自加利福尼亚土著群体的人种学类比提供了一个模型，说明如何在技术上支持特定资源的收集、处理、存储和准备要求。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
