Experimental and Traceological Analysis of “Iron-Like” Tools (Utyuzhki) Made of Talc and Talcochlorite
This article describes the conditions and principles for creating a reference collection of use-wear traces in the grooves of “iron-like” tools (Utyuzhki) made from talc stone, employing an experimental-traceological method. It was established that the traces within the grooves, despite identical movement kinematics — reconstructed for archaeological analogs as reciprocating with rotational elements — exhibit different characteristics depending o…
