Description

From Lithic Artifacts and Fire ... 'Artifacts made of stone are generally the best preserved of all material types in the archaeological record, often providing the only evidence of where people lived and worked in the past. Despite its durability, stone can be affected by fire, as well as by efforts to suppress wildfires and to rehabilitate burned areas following fires.'
