The role of raw material differences in stone tool shape variation: an experimental assessment (2014, background): “…raw material surfaces (box ranges indicate 25e75% quartiles, with median values shown as bar within). may have been a specific motivating factor in the use of certain reduction strategies by hominins across time and space (Brantingham and Kuhn, 2001; Brantingham, 2010; Lycett and Eren, 2013).”
Levallois lessons: the challenge of integrating mathematical models, quantitative experiments and the archaeological record (2013, methodology): “Indeed, from an adaptive/functional perspective, Brantingham and Kuhn (2001) argued that Levallois reduction may represent a form of economic ‘peak’, at least in terms of comparison with certain alternative approaches to core reduction.”
