| Abstract |
Toolmakers in Queensland Australia used ingenious knapping techniques to produce an implement with a large bulb of percussion and a gouge-shaped cutting edge: the "gull-wing tula adze". The author concludes that the tool results from a unique compromise between an inefficient knapping technique and a peculiar - but in this case desirable -phenomenon of fracture mechanics.
