Skill is widely accepted as a factor impacting diversity among assemblages
produced by knappers of different levels of expertise; however, its identification in archaeological
remains is related to specific attributes and detailed analyses, usually destined
to estimate abilities of pre-modern humans. This paper approaches the skill study
with a broader method, cross-examining the collections to assess its suggested visibility
as a formative agent. Besides skill, the raw material quality and the site function have
already been acknowledged as factors influencing the lithic assemblage structure. Lack
of skill, considered an uncontrolled impact on worked material, is measured by number
of irregular pieces (chunks, shatter) in the assemblage. The skillful activity is thus indirectly
assessed by estimating the correlation of the quantity of chunks with variables
representing the site function and the quality of raw materials. This hypothesis has been
tested using published data r...elated to the general structure of lithic assemblages and
associated raw materials from the Late Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic sites on the
Balkan Peninsula, which has led to the conclusion that identifying skill from the more
general information is possible, but as of yet, still not precise.

Ispitivanje veštine na osnovu arheoloških ostataka vezano je za pojedine atribute i detaljne

je potvrđeno da je struktura skupa kamenih artefakata u vezi sa stepenima veštine
