chipped stones, like many other archaeological artifacts, change in their original context. one of the most important changes is breakage. although it is clear that chipped stones which are gathered by archaeologists might have been broken, there have been few discussions made on the estimating the original number of chipped stones before breaking. in this article we have introduced different m...

To counteract the sterile look of computer-generated worlds, we introduce a procedural model for worn edges that can be seen in buildings and stones: edges that have suffered minor damage at multiple points, resulting in material being chipped off. Employing data gathered from photographs, the method adds minute detail along exposed edges. The deformed geometry may be simulated with normal maps...

This paper presents a typo-technological analysis of the lithic assemblage from excavation Mesolithic site Altappeh (southeast Caspian Sea). The was excavated by C. McBurney and archaeological materials were divided between University Cambridge National Museum Iran. research is based on chipped stones stored in assemblage, consisting mostly flake tools including various scrapers notchdenticulat...

O’CONNOR, A. 2003. Geology, archaeology, and ‘the raging vortex of the “eolith” controversy’. Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association, 114, 255–262. The ‘raging vortex of the “eolith” controversy’ (Sollas, 1911) once provided a focus for vibrant debate over the extent of human antiquity. These ancient chipped stones attracted a spectrum of approaches and opinions, from geologists and archaeo...

Low harvesting costs and increasing demand for forest-derived biomass led to an increased use of full-tree (FT) harvesting in steep terrain areas in Austria. Logging residues, as a by-product of FT harvesting, present an easily accessible bioenergy resource, but high portions of fine particles and contaminants like earth particles and stones make them a complex and difficult fuel, as they affec...
