Usewear analysis of Mesolithic and Neolithic stone tools from Mala Triglavca, Trhlovca and Pupičina peć

In this paper the results of the usewear analysis of Mesolithic and Neolithic stone tools from three cave sites - Mala Triglavca and Trhlovca in the Slovenian Karst and Pupicina pec in Croatian Istra will be presented. Stone tools were examined under the light microscope at 50 - 200 x magnifications, and some additional physical and chemical analyses were undertaken. Various uses of the tools were determined and conclusions regarding the economies at those sites were drawn.V članku predstavljamo rezultate preiskav sledi uporabe na mezolitskih in neolitskih kamenih orodjih iz treh jamskih najdišč, Mala Triglavca, Trhlovca in Pupičina peć. Orodja smo preiskali pod mikroskopom pri povečavah 50- do 200-krat. Naredili smo tudi fizikalno-kemijske analize. Določili smo različne načine uporabe, povezane z različnimi paleogospodarstvi
