Testing Area‐Scale Fractal Complexity (A sfc ) and Laser Scanning Confocal Microscopy (LSCM) to Document and Discriminate Microwear on Experimental Quartzite Scrapers
Few microwear studies have been conducted on tools made from quartzite. Most rely on visual observation of microwear features using optical light microscopes and scanning electron microscopes. Quantification of microwear on quartzite tools is extremely rare, even though numerous methods to mathematically document surface roughness have been applied to other silicate tools. In this paper, laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) was used to docum…
Intra-raw material variability and use-wear accrual
This paper presents the latest results of an ongoing research initiative into the role of lithic raw material variability in use-wear formation. The present study continues recent exploration of wear formation associated with working dry hide. The work presented here expands on a recently published study of two raw materials from the American Southwest [San Juan Fossiliferous Chert (SJF) and Yellow Silicified Wood (YSW)] (Lerner, In Press) by pre…

Quantifying Microwear on Experimental Mistassini Quartzite Scrapers
Although previous use‐wear studies involving quartz and quartzite have been undertaken by archaeologists, these are comparatively few in number. Moreover, there has been relatively little effort to quantify use‐wear on stone tools made from quartzite. The purpose of this article is to determine the effectiveness of a measurement system, laser scanning confocal microscopy ( LSCM ), to document the surface roughness or texture of experimental M ist…

The Development of Cities in Lowland Maya Culture
The study of the nature and development of Classic Lowland Maya settlement patterns has evolved with the constant influx of data being brought back from the field. This data has led to a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of settlement formation, and a greater appreciation of just how complex and integrated this process was. This paper examines certain milestones in the history of this area of study, how each one contributed to its…
Lewis Binford and the New Archaeology
The role of archaeology in the broader field of anthropology has grown from mere travelogues making no contribution to further our understanding of the past. to detailed scientific analyses forming a permanent complex bond between the two fields of endeavor

Introduction to the Themed Volume of Lithic Technology
(2007). Introduction to the Themed Volume of Lithic Technology: “Lithic Reduction Analysis: Problems of Prehistory,” Proceedings of a Session Held at the 70Th Annual Meetings of the Society For American Archaeology, Salt Lake City, Utah, March 30Th—April 3rd, 2005. Lithic Technology: Vol. 32, No. 1, pp. 5-6
Digital Image Analysis and Use-Wear Accrual as a Function of Raw Material
The influence of raw material properties on rates of use-related wear accrual has often been acknowledged, but rarely assessed quantitatively. This paper offers such quantification regarding three varieties of chert and one of silicified wood exploited during the occupation of the Late Archaic FA2–13 site in northwestern New Mexico. The results show significant differences between rates of wear accrual among these four materials. Therefore, cauti…
