Tool Use-wear Replication

Tool Use-Wear Replication is a systematic experimental method in archaeology that involves reproducing the microscopic and macroscopic wear patterns on stone tools through controlled use of replicated tools on specific materials, in order to identify the functions of ancient tools by comparing their use-wear signatures with those generated under known conditions.
