HET ONDERZOEK VAN DE AHRENSBURG-VINDPLAATS TE OUDEHASKE (FR.) IN 1991

Samenvatting

In 1991, the excavation at the Ahrensbur­gian site of Oudehaske (Stapert, 1989; 1991) was completed. In total, the soil from 58 square metres was sifted during the ex­cavations in 1990 and 1991. All artefacts occurred in the ploughed topsoil. The total number of flint artefacts from this find­spot, including surface finds, is 2621, of which only 919 (35%) are farger than 1.5 cm. Among the 64 'tools', points (one tanged point, one A-point, several Zonhoven points, and many B-points, mostly fragmentary) are the most numerous type-class (71 .9%), followed by both long and short scrapers (15.6%) and burins (9.4%). Furthermore, 9 'chips with retouch' were collected, most of which probably are retouch removals. Con­sidering that the site is quite small, and that the tool inventory is 'specialized' (domi­nated by microliths), the site seems to re­present a hunting camp, occupied for a short period.
