What is Neanderthal Tool Use at Riparo Tagliente about?

This document summarizes a study on the use of blades and pointed tools during the Middle Paleolithic at the site of Riparo Tagliente in Italy. The researchers conducted use-wear analysis on lithic artifacts from the upper levels of the Mousterian sequence to better understand Neanderthal techno-functional behavior. In particular, they examined how blades and pointed tools were used differently. The analysis suggests blades were used for butchering activities while pointed tools had a more generalized use.
