Reflections on the Style-Function Debate Reflections on the Style-Function Debate Summary of the Style versus Function Debate in Paleoanthropology About 200,000 years ago hominids began making tools with greater control of the shape of the flakes. The new technique, termed Levallois, is distinguished from its predecessor, the Acheulian, by the ability to produce flakes of a desired shape, a result of preshaping the core. The Mousterian, the tool tradition of the Neanderthals and early modern humans, is a continuation of this technological advance. Mousterian tradition is also much more varied than the earlier Acheulian. Francois Bordes identified five different assemblage groups, which he hypothesized as correlating to five or more distinct cultures (Feder, page 290).
