Citation
Description One of the most rapidly developing disciplines within archaeology in recent years is undoubtedly use-wear analysis, which allows us to find answers to many questions that have been neglected or otherwise difficult to answer. Thanks to use-wear analysis, we can now reconstruct a number of production processes, repairs or secondary modifications of prehistoric artifacts, and we can also come closer to revealing the function of many objects. The use-wear analysis also helps in the study of economic activities, long-distance contacts or social structures of ancient populations. All these possibilities and many others that are associated with traceology are presented in the presented book.
