Abstract

1. The study of the ground stone celts from Franchthi Cave is part of a larger research project that comprises all the ground stone tools found at the site. The material is stored in the Nauplion Archaeological Museum, where I examined it in the summers of 1997, 1998, and 2000. My study was made possible by a Schrader Postdoctoral Fellowship, a Schrader Summer Grant, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (awarded to Thomas W. Jacobsen). Preparation of the illustrations was funded by a Schrader Summer Grant and the Institute for Aegean Prehistory. The final results of my study will be published as fascicle 17 in the Excavations at Franchthi Cave) Greece series. I would like to thank Thomas W. Jacobsen and Karen D. Vitelli for entrusting the publication of the Franchthi ground stone tools to me. I am also grateful to Vitelli, Michael Strezewski, Ayla Akin, and especially Catherine Perles and Mihalis Fotiadis for reading and commenting upon earlier versions of this paper. Curtis Runnels and Thomas Strasser, as Hesperia referees, helped me improve it with their useful suggestions, as did a third anonymous referee and the editor of Hesperia. Unless otherwise noted, all photographs are courtesy of Indiana University Archives, Bloomington. All drawings are by Ayla Akin. I am grateful to Akin for doing the drawings, and to Strezewski for helping with the photography and the editing.
