Poster: An Application for Analyzing Stone Tool Artifacts
نویسندگان
چکیده
This poster describes an application under development that supports quantitative analysis of 3D models of stone tools. The models are created from original artifacts by using a laser scanner. The application currently supports interactive labeling of flake scars on flint cores. We discuss our ideas for automatic labeling and future enhancements to the application.

متن کاملFirst GIS Analysis of Modern Stone Tools Used by Wild Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) in Bossou, Guinea, West Africa
Stone tool use by wild chimpanzees of West Africa offers a unique opportunity to explore the evolutionary roots of technology during human evolution. However, detailed analyses of chimpanzee stone artifacts are still lacking, thus precluding a comparison with the earliest archaeological record. This paper presents the first systematic study of stone tools used by wild chimpanzees to crack open ...
