This is an abstract from the "Fire-Cracked Rock: Research in Cooking and Noncooking Contexts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeologists have frequently conducted rock firing experiments to better understand different fracture patterns in fire-modified rock (FMR). These experiments have had varying degrees of control and their results have been difficult to interpret. This paper considers why this is the case and suggests that rock fracture...
