Abstract :
[en] Until recently in Australia, lithic tool-use experiments were dominated by flaked stone with relatively few studies of ground-stone. This poster reports on a workshop, during which tool-use experiments were designed to document the wear traces associated with grinding various materials (n=7), different processing techniques (n=3), and sandstones of different hardness (n=5). The specific variables were selected to build a use-wear and residue reference library applicable to Australian archaeological grinding implements proposed for detailed functional analysis.
