EEN VINDPLAATS VAN DE OVERGANG LAAT-PALEOLITHICUM/MESOLITHICUM BIJ OUDEGA (FR.)

Samenvatting

A findspot near Oudega in the province of Friesland is described. The material is comparable to that of the Epi-Ahrensburgian site of Oudehaske (Dijkstra et al., 1992). Among the complete points simple B-points predominate; at least one Zonhoven point is also present. Further­more, there are both long and short scrap­ers, burins, truncations and one fine borer. As in the case of Oudehaske, the good qua­lity of the blades is striking, in contrast to those from Mesolithic sites. It is suggested that most Epi-Ahrensburgian sites date from the Rammelbeek phase, an almost treeless period during the first half of the Preboreal. A third site in Friesland that probably also dates from this period is Sint Johannesga.
