Asturian picks from the Mesolithic shell midden of Mazaculos II (northern Spain): a functional interpretation

Abstract

[RU] Астурийский мезолит (Северная Иберия) традиционно характеризуется накоплением огромных раковинных куч в пещерах и гротах, а также находками типичных каменных орудий, обычно называемых астурийскими пиками. Эти изделия, изготовленные из кварцита, обладают специфическими и уникальными характеристиками, и с самого начала исследований мезолита в этом районе они считаются показателем этого хронокультур- ного горизонта. За последнее столетие было предложено несколько гипотез для объяснения их назначения. В этой работе мы проверили гипотезы об использовании астурийских пик с помощью экспериментально-трасологического метода на экспериментальных и археологических орудиях, найденных на стоянке Масакулос II (Ла-Франка, Астурия, Северная Испания). Результаты, полученные в экспериментальной аналитической программе, показали, что астурийские пики в основном использовались для сбора моллюсков, ключевого ресурса для этого населения в мезолите. Результаты также показали существование четкой стратегии в выборе сырья, особенностей производственного процесса, повторного использования сломанных орудий в других видах деятельности и некоторых других аспектов, связанных с социальной организацией этих мезолитических групп.

[EN] The Asturian Mesolithic (Northern Iberia) has traditionally been characterized by the accumulation of huge shell heaps in caves and grottoes, as well as the finds of typical stone tools commonly called Asturian peaks. These products, made of quartzite, have specific and unique characteristics, and from the very beginning of the Mesolithic research in this area, they have been considered an indicator of this chrono-cultural horizon. Over the past century, several hypotheses have been proposed to explain their purpose. In this work, we tested the hypotheses about the use of the Asturian peak using the experimental-trasological method on the experimental and archaeological tools found at the site of Masakoulos II (La Franca, Asturias, Northern Spain). The results obtained in the experimental analytical program showed that Asturian peaks were mainly used to collect shellfish, a key resource for this population in the Mesolithic. The results also showed the existence of a clear strategy in the selection of raw materials, features of the production process, reuse of broken tools in other activities and some other aspects related to the social organization of these mesolithic groups.
