“…Low impact-strength materials like chert, however, were commonly employed to make arrowpoints, and fine-grained stones have slightly better performance when penetrating elastic materials. In addition to raw material availability, this factor may help explain why these materials were selected over more durable stone types (Loendorf et al 2018). In addition, when it was possible to rework experimental points made from high impact-strength stone, performance suffered.…”

“…At the end of the experimental trials, all points were too fragmentary to be reworked. The performance of the initial points was reported in a previous publication (Loendorf et al 2018), and, because the same methods were employed to test the reworked points, they are summarized again here.…”

“…), the raw material (Loendorf et al . ), variations in the width‐to‐thickness and length‐to‐thickness ratios (Odell and Cowan ; Cheshier and Kelly ) and the presence and frequency of flake scars, all must be accounted for in achieving greater analytical realism.…”
