Abstract

Presents a history of functional analysis, then considers the quantification of microwear polishes, the investigation of hafting traces with image processing, a multidimensional approach to functional analysis, the drill bits from Kumartepe, and the limitations and applications of use-wear analysis. Appendices describe testing for efficiency, image processing statistics, the documentation of blind tests, and a program written for Hypercard on Apple Macintosh. -- AATA
