Abstract: |
<p>Very limited study has been undertaken on ground stone tool technology and its manufacturing processes. The research described in this paper addresses attempts to recreate an ancient Chinese ground stone tool form through experimental archaeology. By mimicking the flake scarring and manufacture-wear patterns identified on the archaeological specimens through experimental knapping, grinding and polishing, a determination of how the originals were produced and the amount of time and effort invested in creating them has been made.</p>
