Zandra, you are as great donkey keeper as a team companion. It was a great joy to have you with us. It's a pity you couldn't stay longer.

There is no treshold here. It all depends on your scope. If you wanna really read scar by scar- drop it. No point. Especially when combine these results and our previous JAS paper "Can we read stones?". But if you do it to determine generał knapping scheme it should work with average error rate.

We also created a dedicated web app where you can test your error rate in diacritic analysis. Check out the FlintReader:

Ca 5% of all analysed scars are too difficult to identify their relative chronology.

The error rate differs due to the directionality of scars, raw material and the length of the ridge.

The errors are made not randomly but mostly in specific-difficult places.

But the average error rate is higher among beginners (25%) than experts (15%).

we found out that the average error rate in the diacritic analysis of lithics is 21%.
