N2 - With the interest for the technological options that were taken by the prehistoric groups to subsist, thereis a field of research left empty in terms of archaeological records dated to the 8th and 7th millennia calBC. It concerns the tool kit made from bone and antler used in Europe by stone knappers to work thelithic raw material by pressure and indirect percussion. Based on morpho-technological aspects, thispaper presents a first list of recognized archaeological osseous artefacts employed in indirect andpressure lithic reduction. These are punches, pectoral and shoulder sticks, as well as bone elementsinvolved in the lever systems. This investigation is made in the frame of a larger research project aimingat discussing both origin and agent responsible for the introduction of the “inset technology”dconicalcore pressure blade concept together with the slotted bone toolsdappearing in the southern Scandinaviaat ca. 7300 cal BC. Results are promising and experiments enabling characterization of the bone andantler tools used in the debitage by pressure and indirect percussion will be soon undertaken.
