| Abstract |
|
The stone technology from Mata Menge on Flores, Indonesia, is described, providing the first detailed analysis of the largest stone artefact assemblage from a stratified and securely dated Middle Pleistocene site in Southeast Asia. Technological analysis indicates a reduction sequence based on the centripetal, or 'radial', reduction of transported blanks. The implications for early hominin behaviour on Flores are considered. |
