Abstract
⺠The morphology of organic residues on stone tools can be ambiguous. ⺠We study the nature of this ambiguity in a reference collection of residues. ⺠We find that certain residue types are more ambiguous than others. ⺠These include hide-scraping, bone-scraping, and hardwood-whittling residues. ⺠Multiple types of microscopy (light, electron) may help diminish the number of ambiguous cases.
