Dataset: Technological attribute classification of lithics from Middle and Late Mesolithic sites in western and central Norway

The repository contains data and codes from technological attribute classification of lithic blade assemblages from 29 Middle and Late Mesolithic settlement sites (dated to c. 7500-5000 BC) in western and central Norway. The data was collected by the research project “The Storegga tsunami c. 6150 BC - a wave of destruction and the start of something new?”, funded by The Research Council of Norway (FRIPRO-project no. 302858).

The data and coding supports the findings of the paper "Lithic technology before and after the Storegga tsunami (8200 cal BP) - dissolving large-scale regional trends to identify social impact of crisis in western Norway" by H. Damlien, A.J. Nyland and J. Redmond, submitted to The Holocene.

The file contains four sheets:

1. Protocol: desciptions of selected attributes.
2. Coding.
3. Data from attribute analysis.
4. References.
