Popis: International audience; In the study of a lithic assemblage, the fractured pieces are just as important as whole or unbroken artifacts. When we devote time to the source of the artifact fracture in an assemblage, we are trying to determine between typology, technology, quality of raw materials but also the skill or cultural legacy of the Neanderthals. The relevant criteria in our study are based on the morphology of the fractures (rectilinear, angular, convex, concave, mixed and irregular), the direction of the fracture (transverse, parallel, oblique), and where on the tool the fracture is located. Whatever the fractures are, they leave waves very specific to each situation. By analysing fracture patterns and other typological, technological and techno-economic characteristics, we are able to measure the relative frequencies of these 3 consequences : fracture as a result of poor quality raw material, fracture through use, or deliberate, intentional fracturing by man as a cultural criteria. We apply this analysis/method to the site of Sajóbábony (eponymous site of the Bábonien) where whole leafpoints are present as well as numerous broken leafpoints (excavations of 1986-87-1991 (dir. A. Ringer, Ringer & Adams, new excavation of 2019-2022 A.Lamotte & Zs. Mester). About 50 pieces help us to build our demonstration of fracture pattern, with a special focus on whether intentional fracture is a legacy of neanderthals from Central Europe.
