| Abstract |
A key feature of stone artefact morphology is the arrangement and patterning of negative flake scars left on flakes and cores. Scar patterning is often treated as a rough
guide to identifying methods of core preparation and reduction and usually forms a key component of lithic typologies and other systems of analysis. However, scar patterns are often complex
and difficult to capture using traditional measurement or classificatory techniques, particularly where flakes are thick and irregular, or where cores are flaked on many sides from a number
of platforms. Three-dimensional analysis of flake scars is now more feasible using digital 3D surface scanning technologies, or using three-dimensional measurement tools such as the
Microscribe-3DX which is now widely used in biological geometric morphometric studies more generally [D.C. Adams, F.J. Rohlf, D.E. Slice, Ital. J. Zool. 71 (2004) 5e16; F.J. Rohlf, L.F.
Marcus, Trends Ecol. Evol. 8 (1993) 129e132. [1,34]]. This paper develops a mathematical formula for describing scar patterning using vectors calculated from the start and end points of
flake scars recorded in three dimensions.
