Quantifying traces of tool use: a novel morphometric analysis of damage patterns on percussive tools.

Percussive technology continues to play an increasingly important role in understanding the evolution of tool use. Comparing the archaeological record with extractive foraging behaviors in nonhuman primates has focused on percussive implements as a key to investigating the origins of lithic technolo...
