Chisels occupy a small part of the studies concerning polished stone tools. Havying an area (the north-west of Romania) but especially two sites – Porț and Pericei- that produced a vast quantity of polished lithics, with a clear predominance of chisels, we were able to make some general observations regarding what is different about them related to other polished tools. Two main aspects were followed: ways of stone working adapted to produce chisels and the chronological value of their typology. Regarding the first issue, cores were prepared by polishing a narrow stripe indicating the part that had to be sawed for obtaining a chisel's preform. Pecking was used afterwards in different proportions, depending on the shape of the chisel. Seriation of the sites based on chisel's typology illustrate a general evolution that is marked by local preferencesDownloads
