Experimental insights into alternative strategies of lithic heat treatment
Burnt and broken: An experimental study of heat fracturing in silcrete
Heat-induced fracturing of archaeological stone is a worldwide phenomenon, yet it is poorly understood. Not only does confusion surround the common perception of heat fracturing, where it is often confused with heat-treating, but our knowledge of the specific processes responsible for heat fracturing has been retarded by a lack of explicit and controlled experimental investigation. Apart from two North American experimental studies (Purdy 1974, 1…
