BONE TOOLS OF THE HUTCHINSON SITE (8PB17041), PALM BEACH COUNTY, FLORIDAUnknown Date (has links)
The Hutchinson site, a Late Archaic/Early Woodland habitation site first excavated in 2017, produced over a hundred bone tools. This research analyzes the assemblage using morphological, typological, spatial, and statistical methods. By understanding tool manufacture and use at Hutchinson, this analysis illuminates the poorly documented prehistory of the South Florida interior and prehistoric technological adaptation in the absence of lithic material. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (MA)--Florida Atlantic University, 2021. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Analyzing percussive technology from the Earlier Stone Age archaeological recordCaruana, Matthew V. 04 1900 (has links)
A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
April, 2015 / Percussive technology plays an integral in role lithic tool production and thus has had
a significant impact on the evolution of the archaeological record. The characteristic damage
patterns that result from percussive activities preserve a record of hominin behaviour,
although there remains no comprehensive method for analyzing them. In fact, percussive
tools have been largely overlooked in archaeological research, which has obscured their
behavioural insights. Recent interests in the commonalities of percussive tool use within the
Primate Order have suggested that investigating the evolutionary continuity of these tools
may provide a window into the origins of lithic technology. This research presents a
framework of analytical techniques for the study of hammerstones from the Earlier Stone
Age record. As stone-knapping activities remain the focus of archaeological research,
understanding how the use of hammerstones has changed throughout time is a critical
concern. A ‘focal lens’ approach is developed to facilitate inter-assemblage comparisons that
can be used to construct an evolutionary perspective on the use of these tools. Implications
for raw materials, selection behaviours and comparative research are developed to test the
potential for future directions in the study of percussive technology.

An analysis of the symmetry of large cutting tools within the South African AcheuleanCouzens, Raymond Alexander 05 September 2012 (has links)
The use of three dimensional modelling techniques with reference to the study of archaeological material is one that is gaining popularity in hominid studies and is already being extensively used globally. This research delves deep into the Acheulean period and takes a refreshed look at the symmetry of handaxes from two sites, namely Rietputs 15 (1.4 ma) which is an early Acheulean site, and the Cave of Hearths, which is estimated to ca 450/500 000 years old and forms the later Acheulean aspect of this sample. This research focuses on creating effective methods for studying symmetry in relation to various variables specific to each site, and it aims to gather data using 3D methods that more traditional 2D techniques struggle to capture. Ultimately this data provided me with a quantified measure of symmetry for handaxes from the two sites. For the Cave of Hearths, statistical evaluation of the measures of left versus right volumes showed strong, statistically significant correlations (r = 0.870, p < 0.05), as did measures of left versus right surface areas (r = 0.960, p < 0.05). Rietputs provided comparable results of: r = 0.859, p <0.05 for volume, and r = 0.954, p <0.05 for area, thus suggesting that good symmetry exists. By using sectoral analysis, this study shows that the tip is the most variable sector of the tools for both sites. This result supports the assumption that handaxes were designed for varied functions (e.g., cutting, skinning, digging roots, or working wood) but ones which required a strong distal end. The medial and proximal sectors are both relatively less variable, and their properties may have been more constrained by the convergent shape of the tool. Values for the later Acheulean sample show only slightly less variability than for the early Acheulean, but this is nevertheless an interesting trend which relates to hominid and cultural evolution over ca 1 million years of time.
