Lithic morphology

Lithic morphology refers to the study of the shape, size, and structural features of stone tools or naturally occurring stones. It involves analyzing the form and surface characteristics to understand how tools were made, used, and modified by humans or natural processes. This helps archaeologists and scientists interpret past behaviors, technological skills, and cultural practices related to stone tool production and usage. In essence, lithic morphology provides insights into the craftsmanship and functional aspects of stone materials across different periods and cultures.
