DOI: 10.1016/j.jas.2016.12.004
Abstract: The analysis of residues on stone tools can yield important insights into the tool-using behaviors of Paleolithic hominins. The ambiguity of residue identifications using visible-light microscopy (VLM) has led to the development of additional techniques… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jas.2018.05.001
Abstract: Abstract Raman spectroscopy is a powerful method for detecting micro-residues on stone tools. To further develop techniques for determining stone tool function, we devised a methodology using Raman microscopy to analyse in situ micro-residues before… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jasrep.2017.12.024
Abstract: Abstract 26 blueschist Neolithic polished stone tools coming from archaeological sites in Borsod-Abauj-Zemplen County (NE Hungary) were archaeometrically analysed. All items were described and documented macroscopically and magnetic susceptibility was measured on each tool. Non-destructive… read more here.
