Abstract
The fractal dimensions of lithic reduction
Clifford T Brown
619 - 631
Determines whether the size-frequency distribution of a sample of lithic debitage is fractal by plotting the power-law relation on a log-log graph. Also shows how to estimate the fractal dimension for any particular distribution. Demonstrates a fundamental relationship between the fractal dimension and stage of reduction using debitage size data from experimental replications of lithic tools. Presents archaeological case studies that illustrate the utility of the method.
Standardizing infra-red measures of bone mineral crystallinity: an experimental approach
Todd A Surovell
Mary C Stiner
633 - 642
Three experiments demonstrate that infra-red spectroscopic measures of bone mineral crystallinity are partially dependent upon sample preparation methods. Intensive grinding of bone samples for Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis results in a net decrease in splitting factor (a common measure of apatite crystallinity). If grinding is overly intensive, splitting factor measurement may respond more to variation in sample preparation than to the differences in bone mineral crystallinity that it is intended to monitor. A set of procedures and standards are proposed as a means of calibrating infra-red crystallinity measures.
