S2-06EN_PDF_Lorène Chesnaux - Microliths from 62 rue Henry-Farman, Paris (15th arrondissement): specific arrows for different types of game hunted in particular places?

This chapter presents a functional analysis of Beuronian microliths from the site of 62 rue Henry-Farman in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. The combination of use-wear and experimentation brings to light an unexpected spatio-temporal separation of hunting related activities. Points, just like triangles and crescents, were manufactured on-site and abandoned before being used. Whereas triangles and crescents, employed as barbs or point-barbs, were reintroduced into the assemblage within carcasses, 80% of which were wild boar.
