ABSTRACT The field of macrolithic use-wear analysis has developed dramatically in recent years, but the morphological evolution of surfaces resulting from use has not received much attention. To a large extent, this neglect is due to the substantial amount of time that experiments exploring this aspect would require. This article presents a time-saving experimental program that involves rock salt and sand, used in combination with archaeological data, ethnographic evidence, and an engineering perspective to investigate the so-called saddle work face configuration of grinding tools. This intriguing shape is found among both passive and active tools and includes a concave longitudinal axis and a convex transverse one. Our work uses a Greek Neolithic assemblage as its case study and suggests that the saddle shape can develop as a result of specific kinematics.

盐、沙和鞍座:探索磨削工具中有趣的工作面配置

摘要 近年来,巨石使用磨损分析领域发展迅猛,但由于使用而导致的表面形态演变并未受到太多关注。在很大程度上,这种忽视是由于探索这方面的实验需要大量时间。本文提出了一个涉及岩盐和沙子的节省时间的实验计划,结合考古数据、人种学证据和工程视角来研究磨削工具的所谓鞍座工作面配置。这种有趣的形状在被动和主动工具中都有发现,包括一个凹的纵轴和一个凸的横向轴。
