| Research Abstract |
It is likely that the populations of Homo erectus were mobile but they werer unable to carry raw materials to their camps/sites when faced with certain sitations. In order to lessen the burden associated with frequent mobility, they manufactured the tools and usable flakes instantly after procuring abundant, good quality raw materials. They refurbished their gear by the casual manufacturing of additional stone tools during their annual rounds. As a condequence they often brought completed tools, preforms, or usable flakes of differentiated raw materials to strategic locations. Like modern hunters who use mountain huts, they provisioned their sites. They would stock logistical points on their predetermined migratory route with finished tools when copint with harsh conditions, the uneven distribution of lithic resources, the presures of frequent moves, and the necessity of carrying heavy burdens. Hence sites with discarded artifacts found as spatial, delineated concentration can be viewed as logistical locales for retooling (Kamada 1995, Kajiwara et al 1996).
