Abstract: The majority of Upper Palaeolithic sites in Hungary consist of surface artefact scatters with poor chronostratigraphic control. However, the technological, morphometric and taphonomic characteristics of the finds, as well as their geographical location constitute valuable data for regional-scale land use models. The Acsa-Rovnya Early Upper Palaeolithic site is considered an aggregation site or basecamp due to its numerous finds, the dominance of endscrapers, and its strategic location. The duration of its occupation and the archaeological-taxonomic identity of its users are yet to be known. I investigated the dominant tool type of the site, endscrapers, to explain their variability by chronological, taxonomic or functional reasons. Based on morphometry and production methods, I classified these tools with the help of hierarchical clustering on principal components (HCPC). The results show that the typologically diverse set can be the result of similar tool production methods and usage. This result confirms the view about the similar function of the site in the landscape through the ages, whether it was used by groups classified into one or more culture-taxonomical units.
Keywords: Upper Palaeolithic, Acsa-Rovnya, Endscrapers, Cluster analysis, Land use
