This book presents the results of field research and experimental
archaeology on Neolithic flint axe production sites and flint mines
in the Seine valley (west from Paris) between 2000 and 2010. The
first chapter discusses the research history, the cultural and
chronological framework of axe production sites in the Paris Basin.
The second chapter presents the research results and documentation.
The raw materials for the axe production came from the flint mines
of Flins-sur-Siene, where Bartonien Flint was mined. This is the
subject of the third chapter. The site was first identified in the
1920's by amateur archaeologists. The data collected at
Flins-sur-Seine (geological context, production waste, density of
mine shafts) indicates that this mine is very similar to the mines
at Jablines. However, no excavations had thus far been carried out
at this site. The field research involved geophysical surveys and
field walking which led to the identification of workshops and
extraction sites. Chapter 4 presents the results of experiments
carried out with re-creating mineshafts in 2003. Chapter 5 presents
results of other axe workshop sites in the area. These include
excavations results and inventarisation of finds in museums. This
chapter also discusses the use and findcontext of the axes. The
final chapter is a synthesis and places the site in a wider
contextual framework. The focus lies on other sites in the Paris
basin, questions about territories, production/distribution sites.
The technological system and its structuration in terms of
specialisation and apprenticeship and its meaning among the
regional Neolithic cultures.
