Analysis of Use Wear on Ceramic Potter's Tools

MRS Proceedings, 1992
ABSTRACTAnalyses of the distribution and nature of abrasion on ceramic rings from the third millennium B.C. portion of the Godin III pottery assemblage in western Iran (2600-1400 B.C.) indicate that it represents use wear. Residual scars on pottery vessels and reconstruction of vessel forming sequences support identification of these rings as potter's ...

Use-Wear Analysis Brings “Vanished Technologies” to Light

African Archaeological Review, 2020
I review five “vanished technologies” from southern Africa that have been brought to light through use-wear studies of bone tools. Most of the examples discussed here represent the first recognition of these technologies in the region and provide unique insights into the technological and behavioral repertoires of past humans and hominins.

An application of use-wear and residue analysis to wooden digging sticks [PDF]

open access: possible, 2023
Use-wear and residue analyses techniques were implemented in a systematic integrated approach to ascertain whether a sample of 12 post-contact Australian wooden digging sticks from two museums retain traces of their use. Ethnographic literature and museum records provided relevant information for the analytical procedures selected and evidence with ...

On Accuracy and Revelance in Lithic Use-wear Analysis

Lithic Technology, 1987
AbstractDiscussion of the high magnification/microwear and low magnification/edge-damage techniques of lithic use-wear analysis has been impeded by the use of a single set of accuracy estimates for the latter. The results of six blind test results, apparently indicated almost equal abilities of individuals using microwear and edge damage techniques to ...

Use-Wear Methodology on the Analysis of Osseous Industries

2014
In this paper I present an overview on use-wear analysis of osseous materials based on the previous works of several researchers working in this field of science for the last 40 years. Researchers are now using the most diversified tools to work on the osseous industry when performing the use-wear analysis.

Wear Mechanism of Artificial Joint Failure Using Wear Debris Analysis

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2018
Aseptic loosening is one of the main failure modes in artificial joints. Significant information about the aseptic loosening is carried by the wear debris of the joints. In this paper, the wear debris acquired from the ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) artificial joints is prepared and a systematic research is carried out to investigate ...

REVIEW ARTICLE USE‐WEAR ANALYSIS: THE STATE OF THE ART

Archaeometry, 1996
This paper is a review of the recent developments in use‐wear analysis. The focus is on some key issues: polish formation, quantification of use‐wear, residue analysis and the way these related themes have affected methods of use‐wear analysis. A brief history of the development of use‐wear analysis is presented and a discussion of blind tests, expert
