Abstract
Exploitation of the quartzite at the Middle Palaeolithic settlement in Érd (Hungary) Excavated by Veronika Gábori-Csánk in 1963 and 1964, Érd is a particular site of the Middle Palaeolithic in Hungary. Six occupation levels in two habitation zones have been identified. Their archaeological material have been attributed to the Charentian of South-east Europe. The main feature of this Mousterian facies is the dominant use of quartzite pebbles as raw material of tool production. The technology was compared to the Pontinian of Italy. Recent technological study of the lithic assemblage of Érd demonstrated that Prehistoric men applied several debitage methods for the exploitation of quartzite pebbles. The methods have been chosen according to pebble forms and to parameters of needed products.
