이형 석도 4종의 사용흔 분석

Abstract

Until recently, the author has been attempting use-wear analysis on atypical forms of stone knives. Although the reconstructed uses are largely the same as in previous research results, I have been able to infer the production and use history of various stone knife forms and other uses. This paper was prepared as an extension of such analysis and covers four types of stone knives: back protruding stone knives, upper and lower four-hole stone knives, rubbed and perforated stone knives and reworked triangular stone knives, for which no analysis has been attempted. The analysis showed that the method of use was assumed to be to turn the string around the middle finger, grip the stone knife body, hold the rice straw close to the stone knife with the thumb, and twist the wrist while pushing with the index finger to remove the ear. This is not a particularly new perspective, as it confirms once again the results of existing research. However, the fact that unusual forms of stone knife were used in manners do not differ significantly from common stone knives is of some significance. It is also significant that we were able to confirm the authenticity of the declared artefacts and to recover the history of each individual stone knife in relation to its production, breakage, reworking and use.
