Evaluating the microscopic effect of brushing stone tools as a cleaning procedure
2020
Cleaning stone tool surfaces is a common procedure in lithic studies. The first step widely applied at any archeological site (and/or at field laboratories) is the gross removal of sediment from the surfaces of artifacts. Lithic surface alterations due to mechanical action applied in wet or dry cleaning regimes have never been examined at a microscopic scale. This could have important implications in traceology, as any modern surface modifications inflicted on archeological artifacts might compromise their functional interpretations. The current trend toward quantification of use-wear traces makes the testing even more important, as even slight, apparently invisible surface alterations migh…

Evaluating the microscopic effect of brushing stone tools as a cleaning procedure [ConfoMap analysis]
2020
ConfoMap templates for each surface in MNT format (including all original and processed surfaces, as well as results). Each template has also been exported to a PDF file. Additionally, results are collated into 'brushing_v2.csv' Instructions to download all files at once are given here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4011952
