| Description | The Blicquy/Villeneuve-Saint-Germain (BQ/VSG) culture combines the former Blicquy (Belgium) and Villeneuve-Saint-Germain (north France)groups. Chronologically, the BQ/VSG follows the Linearbandkeramik andis dated to between 4950 and 4650 BC. The circulation of BartonianTertiary ?int within this culture is an established fact. However, it is now possible to examine patterns in more detail, as the number of sites hasconsiderably increased since the ?rst observations were made (Bostyn,1994). Areview of published ?nds shows that the majority of settlements using Bartonian ?int are located within the Tertiary basin. Here, two groups ofsettlements can be distinguished : producer sites and partial producer sites.On producer sites the whole chaîne opératoire of blade debitage for Bartonian ?int takes place in the settlement. On partial producer sites thebeginning of the chaîne operatoire is missing, as the ?int slabs arrive atthe settlements in preformed state. Two partial producer sites are locatedoutside the Tertiary basin. The other sites located outside the Tertiary basinhave no evidence for debitage and just receive blades (receiver sites). |
