The article 'Macro and microscopic wear analysis of the non-worked lateral edge of a large biface' by Proffitt and Zupancich, illustrates the results of an interesting experimentation. The authors' aim was to undertake a wear analysis on the non worked lateral edge of a stationary partially buried handaxe used to process wood.
The work involved the production of a large biface and its use as a stationary object resting on surface made up of sediment. Afterwards, the authors carried out a macro and microscopic wear analysis of the non-worked lateral edge.
