英文摘要

The Backed Artefact Symmetry Index (BASI) provides a measure with which to describe geometric variation in Australian backed artefacts, and Peter Hiscock has suggested that desert versions of this artefact type will be more symmetrical than their coastal counterparts. The re-excavated Serpent’s Glen (Karnatukul) site and nearby site of Wirrili have produced a large assemblage of backed artefacts. These Western Desert assemblages allow for the testing of BASI. The backed artefacts demonstrate significantly more variability than predicted, demonstrating that all technological debates benefit from larger well-dated assemblages. The signalling information observed in these sites’ pigment art repertoires, combined with this versatility in the toolkits, increases our understanding of the complexity of middle and late Holocene highly mobile foragers in the Australian arid zone.


RESUME L’<< Indice de Symetrie sur Backed Artefact >> (BASI) fournit une mesure permettant de decrire des variations geometriques sur outillage lithique de type microlith australien, pour lequel Peter Hiscock a suggere que les versions produites dans les milieux desertiques seraient plus symetriques que leurs homologues associes aux regions cotieres. Les nouvelles fouilles conduites sur les sites voisins de Serpent’s Glen (Karnatukul) et de Wirrili ont produit un large assemblage de microlithes. Ces assemblages provenant du desert occidental permettent de tester le BASI. Les outils de microlithes manifestent une variabilite significativement plus importante que predite. Ces debats technologiques beneficient d’assemblages larges et bien dates. Les informations de signalisation presentes dans les repertoires d’art parietal de ces sites, combinees a cette polyvalence de l’outillage lithique, permettent d’approfondir notre comprehension de la complexite caracterisant les groupes des chasseurs-cueilleurs extremement mobiles qui peuplaient la zone aride australienne au milieu et a la fin de l’Holocene.
