USE-WEAR TRACES AND EVIDENCE OF RESHARPEN ING AND HAFTING ON MAGDALENIAN SCRAPERS FROM GROTTE-GAZEL AT SALLELES-CABARDES (AUDE-FRANCE)

The functional analysis of prehistoric lithic material tries, in most cases, to identify the materials that have been worked and the tools' movements, through observation of microscopic wear-traces (micropolish es, edge-damage, and striations) on edges that have been used. This st udy shows how an integrated analysis of wear-traces and the tools' mor phology and resharpening opens up wider possibilities for the understa nding of technological behaviour patterns.
