文摘

•: This study examines the flake productivity in Levallois recurrent centripetal and discoid technologies.
•: The analyses are performed on experimental knapping series and archaeological assemblages of level O and M of Abric Romaní.
•: The results indicate that these two knapping methods could have similar amount of flake production.
•: Productivity is influenced by the knapper's goals and by the maintenance of low values of flake thickness.
