Task, Activity, and Context: Integrated Approaches to Use-wear Analysis

Author(s): April Sievert

Year: 2017

Summary

Use-wear has often been used to try to understand stone tools and tool types themselves. By focusing on lithics as used in specific tasks within activities that are part of larger contexts, relationships can be demonstrated and mapped using concept mapping tools. Use-wear studies deriving from complex agricultural sites in the Midwest are coupled with looks at activities performed by modern Native Americans.
