The results suggest that, based on such a combination, it is possible to identify the use of percussion (direct and indirect) and pressure, as well as to differentiate between the use of harder and softer contact tools.

This study focuses on knapping techniques. It describes the microscopic traces associated with knapping and shows how they can be combined with macroscopic traces to strengthen the identification of knapping techniques.

We are pleased to announce that Olivier Touzé and Veerle Rots have published their paper "When the hammer drops: Identification of knapping techniques in blade production based on a multi-scale study of knapping traces".

The Lommel–Molse Nete is one of the most extensive and best-preserved Federmesser sites in north-western Europe. This unique Late Glacial site offers exceptional opportunities to explore how hunter-gatherer groups at the end of the Ice Age organised their lives and adapted to changing environments.

By also comparing Lommel–Molse Nete with nearby sites such as Lommel–Maatheide, we aim to place it within a broader landscape archaeology framework.
