Aterian (African Paleolithic periods, prehistoric North African periods, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Refers to a highly developed Middle and Late Paleolithic tool-making culture that was widespread in northern Africa during the late Pleistocene Epoch from around 30,000 Before Present. It apparently developed as an advanced African form of the European Levalloisian tradition, and is named for the site at Bir al-Atir, Tunisia. It is characterized by the use of the bow and arrow, the formation of stems or tangs on arrowheads, spearheads, and scrapers to facilitate hafting, and a very fine pressure chipping technique. Some scholars believe there is a relationship between Aterian leaf-shaped blades and Solutrean blades, and that the Aterians entered the Iberian Peninsula during Solutrean times.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 指距今約三萬年前的更新世晚期,分布於北非的舊石器時代中期、晚期,高度發展的器具製作文化,其發展類似歐洲勒瓦婁哇(Levalloisian)文化的非洲版,且更為先進,以位於突尼西亞的考古地點阿泰爾井(Bir al-Atir)命名,其特色是使用弓和箭,在箭頭、矛頭、刮削器上並留有柄舌,能夠裝上握柄,另外還有良好的重搥打製技術。有些學者認為阿泰爾葉形的石瓣器與梭魯特的石瓣器有關連性,而阿泰爾人是在梭魯特時期進入伊比利半島的。 
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar een hoog ontwikkelde midden- en laat-paleolithische gereedschap voortbrengende cultuur die wijdverbreid was in noordelijk Afrika tijdens het late Pleistoceen vanaf circa 30.000 v. Chr. Deze cultuur ontwikkelde zich klaarblijkelijk als een geavanceerde Afrikaanse vorm van de Europese Levalloisien traditie en is genoemd naar de opgravingen bij Bir al-Tir in Tunesië. Deze cultuur kenmerkt zich door het gebruik van pijl en boog, de opkomst van schachten of scherpe uitsteeksels op pijlpunten, speerpunten en schrapers om het bevestigen van handvatten mogelijk te maken, en door een zeer fijne drukbeiteltechniek. Sommige geleerden menen dat er een verband is tussen de Aterian bladvormige lemmeten en Solutréen lemmeten en dat de Aterians het Iberisch schiereiland zijn binnengedrongen tijdens de Solutréen tijd. 
Spanish ..... Se refiere a la altamente desarrollada cultura fabricante de herramientas paleolítica media y tardía extendida en el norte de África durante la época del oleistoceno tardío desde alrededor del año 30.000 a.C. Se desarrolló aparentemente como una forma africana avanzada de la tradición levallosiense europea y lleva su nombre por el emplazamiento en Bir al-Atir, Túnez. Se caracterizó por la elaboración de troncos o estaquillas en las puntas de flecha, puntas de lanza y raspadores para proveer un mago y una muy depurada técnica de laminar por presión. Algunos estudiosos creen que hay una relación entre las cuchillas en forma de hoja aterienses y las hojas solutrienses y que los aterienses ingresaron a la Península Ibérica durante la época solutriense.
