Publication Date: | 2004 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/65 | 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. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Antiquity, 78(299), p. 61-73 | Publisher: | Cambridge University Press | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1745-1744 0003-598X |
