| Abstract: |
The presence of a lithic industry in New Caledonia has apparently been ignored until now, because of the atypical and unaesthetic appearance of the raw material and its products. In addition, numeours authors have pointed out the difficulties in identifying the products of debitage on phtanite. Several issues now emerge for discussion and investigation
the existence of a lithic industry in New Caledonia, the identification of debitage methods
and the temporal relationship between ceramic and lithic material cultures.
