Exploring the relative influence of raw materials, percussion techniques, and hominin skill levels on the diversity of the early oldowan assemblages: insights from the shungura formation, lower omo valley, ethiopia

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    The authors mobilize quantified and replicable experimental data to (a) assess the significance of the bipolar technique in the Omo archaeological assemblages and_(b) discriminate the respective impact of raw materials, technical choices and knapper skill levels on the unique character of these assemblages. The combination free-hand technique / good quality pebbles / high skill level is most efficient in minimizing the proportion of angular fragments, while free-hand technique / high Influence of raw materials, percussion techniques, and hominin skill levels on the early Oldowan assemblages skill level is the best combination for more extensive . . .
