  • The quantification of microwear polishes

    R Grace, Roger V Grace et al.ARTICLEWorld Archaeology1985Cited by: 54References: 2

    In the existing methodology of microwear analysis, both the descriptions and the comparisons of observed traces are highly subjective, which is unsatisfactory from many points of view. The authors describe various image processing techniques and discuss their potential to alleviate this situation by providing a means of quantifying microwear polishes and hence of comparing them objectively. Promising results have been obtained, although some tech…

  • Experimental Flake Scatter-Patterns: A New Interpretative Technique

    M H Newcomer, Mark Newcomer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology1980Cited by: 24

    Scatters of flint waste flakes are among the commonest finds on prehistoric sites. To understand how such patterns are formed, we made a series of Neolithic axe roughouts and other tools and recorded the distribution of waste flakes. The most important variable affecting the size and shape of flake scatter patterns seems to be the knapper's position. The applications of these experiments to prehistoric data are considered

  • The Clactonian: An Independent Complex or an Integral Part of the Acheulean? [and Comments and Reply]

    Milla Y Ohel, D K Bhattacharya et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1979Cited by: 12References: 6

    The Clactonian tradition of the British Lower Palaeolithic is currently accepted as an autonomous prehistoric culture, distinct from the Acheulean and pre-dating it. The recent excavations of a number of central sites have opened up a new opportunity for a comprehensive reinvestigation of Clactonian versus Acheulean artifacts along with other aspects related to the two complexes. This study examines and analyzes an unprecedented quantity of objec…

  • Some quantitative experiments in handaxe manufacture

    M H Newcomer, Mark NewcomerARTICLEWorld Archaeology1971Cited by: 167References: 2

    This paper describes the methods and materials used by the author to reproduce flint handaxes of late Acheulian ‐ Mousterian of Acheulian Tradition type, using flaking tools and techniques available to palaeolithic man. Stages in the manufacture of handaxes are defined first subjectively then quantitatively by counting and weighing waste flakes in the order of their removal. Two main observations emerge from these experiments, both relevant to pa…
