摘要：Micro-wear analysis has been applied to one of the characteristic flint tools types ( foicinhas ) of the III millennium cal BC in Portuguese Estremadura. Foicinhas have a specific technological and typological character and their function has been discussed long time ago without any positive results. The present use-wear study makes clear that they are sickles. This provides information about the agricultural practices of the Portuguese Chalcolithic and gives new insights as to the biography of the foicinhas . This paper highlights the contribution of micro-wear analysis for an integrated socioeconomic approach to chipped stone tools.
