Manufacture and Use of Bone Points from Early Neolithic Colle Santo Stefano, Abruzzo, Italy
Résumé
The site of Colle Santo Stefano in the Fucino Basin (Abruzzo, Italy), relates to the central Adriatic phase of the Neolithic complex of ceramica impressa (Impressed ware), which dates to the first half of the 6th millennium CAL B.C. This paper focuses on bone points, which comprise the main category of bone tools present (189 out of 272 total bone tools). A comprehensive study including technological and use wear analyses resulted in the identification of two main types of points which were used mainly to work on or with plant fibers.
