Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Presents a new method of analysing lithic use-wear based on a non-destructive measurement technique, laser profilometry. Reports that this optical technique, when coupled with appropriate software, allows for the measurement of roughness parameters at several length scales. This is said to account for the length-scale dependence of surface topography and allows for its quantitative description. Further, the information from this type of measurement can, in some cases, be described by fractal geometry leading to new interpretive possibilities. Initial results showed that measurements could be made on several different chert and obsidian samples and that these could be distinguished based on their wear histories. | ||||||||
