    Recent research which systematically investigated the entire range of stone artefacts on Lower and Middle Palaeolithic settlements in the Central and Northwest Bohemia revealed surprising information about the use of raw materials, not only with regard to knapped industries, but also to artefacts assigned to process organic and inorganic material. The form and function of these artefacts appear to be unchanged from the Lower Palaeolithic until the Neolithic period. They can be divided into two categories: active tools (hammerstones, pestles or whetstones) and passive tablets (anvils, anvil. pallets). Originally, such artefacts were considered to be a part of the chaine opératoire associated with knapped lithic industries. However, it seems their function was not only limited to knapping activities.

    V posledních letech se při výzkumu staro- a středopaleolitických nalezišť v Čechách setkáváme s dosud opomíjenou složkou typologického spektra nástrojů, které mají nezastupitelné místo v tzv. chaine opératoire technologie a využívání kamenných nástrojů. Tato studie přináší doklady opřené o experimentální archeologii, která přispívá do diskuse funkce, resp. užití otloukačů a podložek v době středního paleolitu.
