Abstract:		 Based on previous research using a UBM laser profilometry technique that proved successful in recognizing and quantitatively documenting different wear polishes on stone tools used to work different contact materials and the identification of a fractal dimension (Dr) on some used tool surfaces, additional experiments using the same technique have been undertaken to elaborate upon this work. The focus of these experiments using the same technique concerns the study of wear polish development and associated changes in stone surface microtopography. Questions relating to the stage at which the first identification of different contact material polishes is possible and when the fractal dimension (Dr) is manifested on tool surfaces are investigated.
