Outlining the knapping techniques: Assessment of the shape and regularity of prismatic blades using elliptic Fourier analysis
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2021)
An important aspect of prismatic blade production is the choice of a knapping technique. This study tests the utility of elliptic Fourier analysis (EFA) for discriminating between different knapping techniques and offers ...
