The piece critiques recent definitions of the Acheulean technocomplex as presented in a publication by Key et al. It highlights significant methodological problems with their definitions and the implications these have on archaeological interpretations. The author argues for a re-evaluation of how differing definitions of archaeological technologies can shape our understanding of cultural continuities and transitions during the Paleolithic.
