Abstract:	Sites which have been discovered in New Caledonia show that stone flake production does occur along with a ceramic activity dated about 2500 or 3000 B. P. At the present time, technological analyses are increasingly framed within a systemic approach of operational chains (chaînes opératoires). This dynamic approach includes the analysis of geometric concepts in the core and a "diacritique" or a technological reading of the blanks. Does core treatment proceed from a volumetric surface conception or from a volume conception?
