CONT

L'archéologie expérimentale vise à retrouver, par la pratique, les gestes qui ont conduit à la réalisation des vestiges retrouvés dans les sites archéologiques [...] L'archéologie expérimentale permet aux chercheurs de tester des hypothèses formulées sur le terrain lors de la fouille. Ainsi, pour la fabrication et la fonction des outils de pierre, les archéologues ont développé de nouvelles méthodes d'analyse grâce à l'expérimentation et la tracéologie.
