The subtle divide
Introduction Chop marks provide critical evidence for reconstructing butchery practices, yet their identification criteria are underdeveloped and rely heavily on the presence of sharp force trauma. Sharp force trauma does not occur with every chop, and on long bone shafts in particular, chops can resemble blunt force trauma. Methods This study addresses this issue through controlled experiments comparing chop and bash impacts on Sus scrofa femora…
Sharp Force Trauma and Chop Mark Identification Bias
Sharp force trauma (SFT) is the main criterion used to identify chop mark butchery in zooarchaeology, yet its reliability as a diagnostic feature has not been systematically tested. Chop marks reflect both cutting and fracturing processes and exhibit characteristics of both sharp and blunt trauma. When present, SFT creates a distinct anthropogenic surface that is easily recognizable, whereas chops lacking SFT can resemble general fracture surface…
