  • Site Formation History of Widgingarri Shelter 1, Northwestern Australia and Investigation of Postdepositional Disturbance With Single‐Grain OSL Dating and Soil Micromorphology

    Open AccessWanchese M Saktura, Zenobia Jacobs et al.ARTICLEGeoarchaeology2025References: 3

    Widgingarri Shelter 1 (WS1) is a rock shelter site within a small escarpment and preserves evidence of late Pleistocene and Holocene human activity. The site was first excavated in 1985 and again in 2022. Here, we present the stratigraphy and chronology following the latter excavation. Site context and stratigraphy were investigated through field observations of the landscape, site and soil micromorphology. A chronological framework was establish…

  • Controlling Levallois

    Open AccessC Lin, Matthew Mcnaughton et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2025Cited by: 1References: 56

    Discussions of the Levallois method typically focus on the preparation of the core surface geometry as the primary factor in determining the characteristics of Levallois products. While some studies have acknowledged the role of knapping gestures, there is still limited empirical investigation into how different force application parameters influence the formation of these flakes. This study presents the results from a set of controlled experimen…

  • On the Use of Parsimony in Archaeological Reasoning

    Open AccessC Lin, Ross Pain et al.ARTICLEAmerican Antiquity2025References: 87

    When evaluating competing hypotheses in archaeology, researchers frequently invoke the principle of parsimony, which states that simpler hypotheses should be preferred. However, the criteria for measuring simplicity and the rationale for labeling a hypothesis as most parsimonious often remain unclear. More broadly, the epistemic merit of parsimony and its relevance to archaeological reasoning are generally assumed but rarely clarified. This artic…

  • A new method for quantifying flake scar organisation on cores using orientation statistics

    Open AccessC Lin, C Clarkson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science2024Cited by: 5References: 60

    In stone artefact studies, researchers often rely on qualitative classifications to describe flake scar arrangements on cores. While this approach provides a broad overview of core reduction patterns, its application can be ambiguous due to the three-dimensional complexities of core geometry and the subjective nature of qualitative classifications, making it challenging to objectively compare flake scar patterning across different analytical sett…

  • A Model of the Monetary Expression of Labor Time with Non-commodity Money

    Open AccessC LinARTICLEReview of Radical Political…2023

    Following the commodity-money system that prevailed at the time of his research, Marx assumed the monetary expression of labor time (MELT) to be fixed. This assumption cannot hold in the contemporary regime of non-commodity money. It is essential to resolve the question of how the MELT is determined in a system of non-commodity money. The expression is the ratio of the total paper money circulating in the economy, less all paper money advanced on…

  • Did Early Pleistocene hominins control hammer strike angles when making stone tools

    Open AccessLi Li, Jonathan S Reeves et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Evolution2023Cited by: 3References: 82

    In the study of Early Pleistocene stone artifacts, researchers have made considerable progress in reconstructing the technical decisions of hominins by examining various aspects of lithic technology, such as reduction sequences, hammer selection, platform preparation, core management, and raw material selection. By comparison, our understanding of the ways in which Early Pleistocene hominins controlled the delivery and application of percussive f…

    At the time of this writing, massive wildland fires are burning in California and Oregon in the United States. The largest, the 680,000-plus-acre Dixie Fire, is burning in Butte, Plumas, Lassen, Tehama, and Shasta counties in Northern California. The Dixie Fire has become the second largest fire in California's recorded history. It has leveled the town of Greenville, population about 900

  • Characterising the stone artefact raw materials at Liang Bua, Indonesia

    Open AccessC Lin, Lloyd T White et al.ARTICLEJournal of Paleolithic Archaeology2022Cited by: 1References: 39

    At Liang Bua, the type site of Homo floresiensis on the Indonesian island of Flores, the stone artefact assemblages are dominated by two raw materials, qualitatively classified as chert and silicified tuff in previous studies. Field observations describe both stone types as locally abundant and of good flaking quality, but no systematic analysis has yet been carried out to characterise their nature. In this study, we conducted the first geologica…

  • A Synthesis of the Dibble et al. Controlled Experiments into the Mechanics of Lithic Production

    Open AccessLi Li, C Lin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Method…2022Cited by: 16References: 56

    Archaeologists have explored a wide range of topics regarding archaeological stone tools and their connection to past human lifeways through experimentation. Controlled experimentation systematically quantifies the empirical relationships among different flaking variables under a controlled and reproducible setting. This approach offers a platform to generate and test hypotheses about the technological decisions of past knappers from the perspect…

  • The effect of edge serration on the performance of stone-tip projectiles

    Open AccessAnton Ferdianto, Suryatman et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2022Cited by: 5References: 75

    Serrated stone points have been documented in a variety of archaeological settings worldwide. In Indonesia, serrated points known as Maros point began to appear during the mid-Holocene as part of the Toalean techno-complex in southern South Sulawesi. Researchers have speculated functional and cultural reason behind the emergence of these distinctive artefact as projectile points, an assumption that has yet to be verified by archaeological data. I…

  • Quantifying knapping actions

    Open AccessLi Li, Jonathan S Reeves et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2022Cited by: 8References: 74

    Stone artifacts are critical for investigating the evolution of hominin behavior-they are among our only proxies for hominin behavior in deep time. Hominin cognition and skill are often inferred by reconstructing the technical decisions hominins made throughout the knapping process. However, despite many advancements in understanding how hominins knapped, some of the key factors involved in past flake production cannot be easily/readily derived f…

  • Operationalizing niche construction theory with stone tools

    Open AccessRadu Iovita, D R Braun et al.ARTICLEEvolutionary Anthropology Issues…2021

    One of the greatest difficulties with evolutionary approaches in the study of stone tools (lithics) has been finding a mechanism for tying culture and biology in a way that preserves human agency and operates at scales that are visible in the archaeological record. The concept of niche construction, whereby organisms actively construct their environments and change the conditions for selection, could provide a solution to this problem. In this re…

  • Quina Retouch Does Not Maintain Edge Angle Over Reduction

    Open AccessC Lin, João MarreirosARTICLELithic Technology2021Cited by: 5References: 84

    The Quina scraper features an important role in the discussion of European Middle Palaeolithic variability. Explanations for its characteristic retouch and blank morphology have ranged from economic to functional and cultural considerations. One hypothesis is that Quina retouch maintains the edge angle of the retouched margin, allowing the upkeep of high cutting potential despite repeated resharpening. In this study, we examine this hypothesis by…

  • Forager Mobility and Lithic Discard Probability Similarly Affect the Distance of Raw Material Discard from Source

    Open AccessC Lin, L S PremoARTICLEAmerican Antiquity2021Cited by: 8References: 68

    The neutral model of stone procurement developed by Brantingham (2003, 2006) provides a formal means to investigate the formation of lithic discard patterning under changing forager mobility conditions. This study modifies Brantingham's (2006) Lévy walk model to examine the influence of discard probability on the spatial distribution of raw material abundance. The model outcome shows that forager movement and tool discard probability have similar…

  • Relationship between biomechanical and psychophysiological indicators and performance in a vertical mountain race

    Open AccessLluc Montull, Jordi Martins et al.ARTICLECultura Ciencia y Deporte2020

    In order to know the relationship between biomechanical and psychophysiological indicators, as well as the possible pre-post psychophysiological differences and the use of poles in the uphill performance on mountain runners, we performed a prospective and descriptive study of one vertical mountain race. Thus, it was analysed biomechanical (speed and strength/power manifestations) and psychophysiological variables (lactate, heart rate and subjecti…
