Abstract

Post-depositional fire events significantly affecting flint concentrations obstruct the location of hearths in Late Palaeolithic open air camps. Lacking the location of fireplaces in the settlement structure, an analysis meets difficulties in approaching activities and daily life at open-air camps. The proposed research procedure concerns the quantitative characteristics of the domestic units and integral parts of workshops, which included hearths, enabling the interpretation of flint concentrations, even if they have been affected by natural fire. The procedure was tested through its application to several Swiderian sites on the North European Plain.
