Preliminary results suggest that knives type can be predicted from cut mark width, and that knife edge thickness correlates with cut mark width.
5) Cut mark width is negatively correlated with bone density when carcass size and bone portion are taken into consideration.
Statistical exploration of these cut marks suggested that knife type, serrated or plain, can be predicted from cut mark width and wall angle.
Recently, diagnostic morphological criteria including cut mark width and depth have been used to identify marks made by different classes of experimental and archaeological stone tools (Bello, S.M., Parfitt, S.A., Stringer, C., 2009.
2) Samples of cut mark width and depth produced by core and flake tools were similar and cut marks could not be accurately classified to a known tool type.
The work presented here adds to this experimental butchery database by using measurements of cut mark cross-section taken from bone surface molds to investigate how stone tool characteristics including flake versus core tool type, edge angle, and tool weight, influence cut mark width and depth, ultimately testing whether cut mark size is a useful indicator of tool identity.
For example, if the width of the road is 4.5 inches, use a pencil to mark a width of 5 inches from the center of the road support beam.
Place second set of stakes at least 10-12 feet across from the first set of stakes to mark the width of the driveway.
The findings from Experiment 1 demonstrated that both knives produced statistically different cut mark widths, wall angle and shapes.
However, in the Aso Farm Land area, cracks of earthquake formed a concentrated zone 200 400 m in width marked by some ruptures and damaged houses or roads.
