Description

A model relating human cognition to the decisions made in tool manufacture is advanced as a substitute for those approaches to artifact classification which rely only on morphology. The model is related to experiments designed to link specific input conditions (in stone fracture) with particular output features (flake and core attributes) and is used to resolve processual questions concerning projectile points from four Palaeo-Indian localities.
