The antiquity of fire-using crafts goes back to the Solutrean, a 20 000 years old prehistoric culture of western Europe, when heat treatment was first applied to siliceous rocks for pressure-retouching. It is recognized that this preliminary treatment makes pressure-flaking easier (both débitage and retouching). The technique is now also linked to pressure débitage, the origin of which may be traced back to the Sibero-Mongol Upper Palaeolithic, at the end of the Pleistocene. According to this hypothesis, Eastern (the Middle East, Inner and Central Asia, Egypt) pressure débitage and heat treatment would have the same origin. These associated techniques represent excellent cultural markers of penetration routes into North America, Central or ...
