Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The authors argue that observations pertaining to particular stages of the lithic chaîne opératoire, or reconstructions of the entire operational sequence at a particular site, can be used to develop a detailed understanding of past human cognitive capabilities, technological sophistication, mobility, and land use. The ``reduction sequence'' is a specific stage of the chaîne opératoire that many archaeologists have attempted to measure. It is argued that many of these attempts fail to recognize that ``reduction'' is a three-dimensional process, and thus should be measured with an appropriate three-dimensional unit: volume. This paper presents a new methodology for measuring and defining reduction in unifacial stone tools that reconstructs the original volume of a modified blank, allowing a realistic percentage of volume loss to be calculated. | ||
