Abstract
Use-wear on stone tool edges indicates how tools were used and what materials were worked. Microwear polish provides a significant diagnostic trace. Three types of polish experimentally applied to stone surfaces by friction have been identified with the aid of the scanning electron microscope. -- AATA
