Levallois Culture - Levallois Culture
This stone tool culture was named after the Levallois technique, a technique used to make stone tools in the Paleolithic period. The Levallois technique involves first shaping a stone core into a tortoiseshell shape, then striking it to obtain flakes. It is seen in the Mousterian culture and other cultures, and was once thought to be characterized by this technique, but it is now believed that the Levallois technique has permeated all cultures, and the name is only used in East Africa.

旧石器時代の石器製作技法の一つであるルバロアLevallois技法にちなんで命名された石器文化。ルバロア技法はあらかじめ亀甲状に形を整えておいた石核に,最後に打撃を加えて剥片を得るもの。ムスティエ文化などに見られ,かつてはこの技法に特徴づけられるルバロア文化の存在が考えられたが,現在では各文化にルバロア技法が浸透したものと解釈され,東アフリカでのみこの名称が使われる。
