Taphonomy Of Lithic Assemblages

Taphonomy of Lithic Assemblages is the systematic study of the post-depositional processes and contextual alterations that affect stone tool assemblages from the time of deposition to recovery, distinguishing it from broader archaeological analysis by focusing specifically on the formation, preservation, and transformation of lithic material within archaeological contexts.
