摘要：E arly on, functional interpretations about prehistoric tools illustrated one of the main concerns in archaeo- logical research, and such relevance led to the develop- ment of functional analysis techniques. Established by Semenov's (1964) systematic research, use-wear and resi- due analysis focus on the observation, identification, and interpretation of different diagnostic physical alterations made on the active areas and edges of tools used by human populations (e.g., hunting projectiles, domestic tools, and/ or residue traces) (see, e.g., Fullagar and Matherson 2013). Therefore, during the last few decades, functional studies, experimental tests, use-wear, and residue analysis, have been seen in archaeological research as fundamental prox- ies for the reconstruction of prehistoric technology and human socio-cultural behavior and organization (e.g., An- derson-Gerfaud et al. 1993; Grace 1996; Longo et al. 2005; Odell 2004; Plisson 1985; Stafford and Stafford 1993).
