In Ardeche for the 11th International Conference of the Pre-Pottery Neolithic Chipped & Ground Stone Industries of the Near East presenting the the results on the use of ground stone tools to process pulses at Kharaysin (Jordan) 🌱🔬 @iphes-cerca.bsky.social @csic.es #archaeology #usewear #neolithic

In our paper, we explore the potential of integrating this technique with the qualitative analysis of #use-wear, demonstrating how a combined qualitative and quantitative approach allows us to achieve a further level of detail in the interpretation of ground stone tools’ use in plant processing 🌾🔬

Interested in quantitative methods applied to functional analyses of stone tools? Our results of the application of confocal microscopy and #3D surface texture analysis for the study of ground stone tools use have just been published in the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory rdcu.be/d891N
