Fire-based Lithic Processing

Fire-Based Lithic Processing is a lithic reduction technique that belongs to the class of fire-assisted stone tool manufacturing methods, distinguished by the deliberate application of controlled thermal exposure to raw lithic materials prior to or during knapping in order to alter mechanical properties and enhance flaking characteristics.
