Thermal alterations of flint implements and the conservation of microwear polish: preliminary experimental observations

Thermal alterations of flint implements and the conservation of microwear polish: preliminary experimental observations

Abstract

[ES] En todo yacimiento arqueológico suele aparecer un cierto número de piezas líticas que presentan algún tipo de alteración térmica. Ante estos restos líticos nos planteamos si es factible o no realizar un análisis funcional, si vamos a saber reconocer los rastros de uso, si estos han sido alterados o eliminados por la acción del fuego, etc. En este trabajo se presenta la experimentación llevada a cabo tanto en laboratorio como en fuegos al aire libre, con el fin de observar las alteraciones que se producen en las superficies de los sílex. Describiremos las distintas alteraciones y el grado en que estas afectan al reconocimiento de los microrrastros de uso. Las alteraciones observadas en estas experimentaciones son: cambios de coloración y "manchones" negros, fracturas, escamaciones y agrietamientos, levantamientos térmicos, "pátinas" y lustre (o brillo) térmico.

[EN] The lithic assemblage of most archaeological sites usually shows a certain number of pieces bearing different kinds of alterations due to fire. These thermal alterations are normally referred to as thermal polishes, cracks, black spots or different-coloured zones. In this paper we shall describe different alterations that we have observed on experimental flint pieces. The main objective of this analysis is to determine the extent to which these thermal alterations can affect the recognition of microwear traces, especially of micropolish.
