  • Stone tool use as an adaptive technology: A meta-analysis of functional estimates on use-wear traces from early, middle, and late Upper Paleolithic industries in the northeastern Japanese Archipelago

    Open Access•Akira Iwase•ARTICLE•Quaternary Environments and Humans•2025

    Since the 1980s, the development of experimental traceological studies has enabled archaeologists to estimate the intended use of Paleolithic stone tools whose functions were unclear. Despite the functional analyses of over 5500 Japanese Upper Paleolithic artifacts, how stone tool use was organized in response to the Late Pleistocene environmental changes remains poorly understood. Using an updated database of Japanese Upper Paleolithic functiona…
