BLANK PPRODUCTION BY EXTRACTION (“DEBITAGE” BY EXTRACTION) AT THE END OF THE UPPER PALAEOLITHIC: A SPECIFIC CASE OF REINDEER ANTLER DEBITAGE DURING THE MAGDALENIAN OCCUPATION AT PINCEVENT, LEVEL IV20, FRANCE (SEINE-ET-MARNE

The Pincevent site, first excavated under the direction of André Leroi-Gourhan, is located in the Paris Basin (south of Paris), near the Seine river. It has been repeatedly occupied during the Magdalenian. Amongst these levels is level IV20 that yielded the most abundant remains and also contained the greatest number of stratigraphic unities thanks to the excavated area that covers a surface of 4500 M2. As a matter of fact, the osseous industry from level IV20 is one of the most abundant – if not the richest – series currently known for the Magdalenian of the Paris Basin. It is composed, in decreasing order of importance of manufacturing wastes, finished objects, unmodified blanks or roughouts. The technological approach based on the refitting by default technique has allowed to identify two main methods of debitage: debitage by segmentation and debitage by extraction on which focused this paper.
