Paleolithic stone tools grouped by period, in the groups of a century ago. In archaeology, morphology is the study of the shape of artefacts and ecofacts.. Morphology is a major consideration in grouping artefacts into period styles and, despite modern techniques like radiocarbon dating, remains a crucial tool in the identification and dating not only of works of art but all classes of ...

In archaeology, lithic analysis is the analysis of stone tools and other chipped stone artifacts using basic scientific techniques. At its most basic level, lithic analyses involve an analysis of the artifact's morphology, the measurement of various physical attributes, and examining other visible features (such as noting the presence or absence of cortex, for example).
This consists of identifying the scar morphology of the retouch. There may be more than one type of scar morphology on a single flake. There are three types of scar morphology. 1. Scaled retouch scars These are short, become wider at their distal end, and along the flake edge have an acute angle. 2. Stepped retouch scars
By drawing on issues at the core of contemporary archaeology and anthropology, we can be much better prepared for contact with an extraterrestrial civilization, should that day ever come.

Morphology (archaeology) Nitrogen dating; Palynology, the study of modern-dated pollens for the relative dating of archaeological strata, also used in forensic palynology. Paleomagnetism; Paleopalynology, also spelt "Palaeopalynology", the study of fossilized pollens for the relative dating of geological strata. Principle of original horizontality
In his lecture to the Society of Arts in 1891 [14] Pitt-Rivers says, "When, as in the case of most prehistoric objects.., the date cannot be given, then recourse must be had to the sequence of type, and that is what I term 'Typology.' It is not an accepted term, and I am not aware that it has been applied before to the study of sequence of the ...
