Inhaltsangabe

Despite the wealth of material remains uncovered by archaeology, our understanding of how people in the past lived, worked, and thought remains fragmentary, especially fort he most ancient times. Many aspects of ancient technologies and daily practices are poorly documented in the archaeological record. Experimental archaeology connects theory with practice by recreating past techniques and technologies. By reconstructing ancient techniques, tools, and lifeways under controlled and replicable conditions, it allows researchers to test hypotheses, evaluate functional assumptions, and build data reference collections. This volume presents the proceedings of the 6th International Congress of Experimental Archaeology (CONEXP), held in Pézenas, France in 2022, hosted in collaboration with EXARC and leading European institutions. The book brings together over 33 contributions from different resarchers using experimental archaeology to interpret the archaeological record and past human behaviors. The contributions reflect the remarkable diversity within the experimental archaeology community, showcasing its vibrancy and interdisciplinary reach. From taphonomy to technology, ceramics to lithics and bone work, and from metallurgy to traceology, ritual practices, art, and subsistence strategies-this volume spans an impressive range of themes. Readers will find case-studies stretching from the Lower Palaeolithic to modern times, with examples drawn from across the globe.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Cyrielle Mathias is a postdoctoral researcher (HNHP–ComE and CRFJ laboratories) specialising in the early Middle Palaeolithic industries of the Mediterranean and Near East. She has developed specific experimental programs focused on recycling practices – particularly recycled percussion materials and cores-on-flakes – as well as the production and use of small tools.

Laurence Bourguignon is a research engineer at INRAP and a member of the ArScAn–AnTET laboratory. Her work focuses on Lower and Middle Palaeolithic sites in southern France. As an expert flintknapper, she has a particular interest in Quina debitage and retouch strategies, as well as basalt knapping.

Jérôme Ivorra, M.A., is a geologist affiliated with the GREPAM. He is part of the team excavating and studying the Lower Pleistocene site of Bois-de-Riquet (southern France). His research focuses on raw material procurement, and he has participated in numerous flintknapping experiments.

Cyril Viallet is a CNRS researcher (ArScAn–AnTET laboratory) working on Middle Pleistocene sites in the Mediterranean region. He has developed a particular interest in experimenting with the production and use of Large Cutting Tools (LCTs), as well as investigating differences in raw materials efficiency.
