| Summary: | alluded to a variety of purposes for these implements, and have long been considered an important portion of the and locality provisioning. Evidence indicates that there was artifact maintenance, repair, and procurement of non-food by hominids, and varying intensities of individual, activity, convergent tool manufacture and use during the Levantine Convergent tools are hallmarks of the Levantine Mousterian convergent tools, while somewhat thicker, were employed in a data are derived from Levantine Mousterian cave sites of design criteria employed by Levantine Mousterian hominids. extractive tasks (associated with procurement or processing implements functioned as multi-purpose components of personal included broader proximal dimensions and distal convergence. including weapon tips. The role of convergent tools in Levallois counterparts. Levantine Mousterian convergent Levantine Mousterian technological organization is explored material, and activity sets. Activity sets were divided into modem humans, archaic hominids or Homo sapiens Mousterian. neanderthalensis. Primary design criteria that were desired not a great degree of behavioral difference associated with of food) and maintenance tasks (attributed to tool or preparation prior to flake removal was critical to achieve ranges of inferred tasks that were performed or anticipated relied upon fracture mechanics of brittle solids and lowpower represents the Zagros Mousterian. The relationship between resources). Functional analysis revealed that convergent similar range of extractive and maintenance tasks as their Skhul, Kebara, Qafzeh, Tabun, Hayonim, and Tor Faraj. A small sample of convergent tools from Shanidar, Iraq some degree related to differences in activity location, the Technological analysis included metric and attribute studies technology. Previous typological and technological analyses technology. Technological and functional variability was to the desired convergent flake shape. Functional analysis these implements from Nahr Ibrahim, Lebanon. Comparative through a detailed technological and functional analysis of through use of the Levallois technique. Non-Levallois to determine techniques of manufacture. The method of core tool manufacture and use is reflected in a set of implement tool uses were similar throughout the Levant, regardless of toolkits and were a significant component of the subsistence use-wear techniques to determine tool motion, worked whether the implements were are attributed to anatomically Width and length were emphasized and thickness was controlled |
