  • A Reconsideration of Stone Point Assemblages

    The aim of this paper is to attempt a reconsideration of the characteristics of stone point assemblages. It has been argued that these tools marked a big change in lithic production, including the consumption of raw materials. For this reason, stone point assemblages can be considered to relate to important questions in lithic studies. There has thus been considerable interest in stone points among prehistorians.<BR>The current paper focuses on tool use within stone point assemblages. This marks a shift from existing perspectives on how the tools were made, to an emphasis on how they were used. An examination of tool maintenance within stone point assemblages demonstrated a common trend within these assemblages toward a monotonous assemblage composition with a scarcity of finishing tools. Based on this analysis of tool maintenance, the function of the stone points was also reconsidered. From their use-wear and excavational contexts, it is argued that these points had a range of functions. Points were not just used as projectiles for hunting, but also served as processing and finishing tools.<BR>The question of tool use within stone point assemblages was thus brought to the surface through these analyses. It was proposed that the limited types and quantity of maintenance tools within these assemblages suggest that the points themselves carried an important functional status. This functionally-concentrated pattern of tool use within stone point assemblages represents a different tool use strategy from that found in other lithic assemblages. It is thus possible to consider stone points as forming a unique pattern of tool use within prehistoric lithic assemblages.
