Below are links to pdfs containing the images used in the publication “Swept under the rug: the problem of unacknowledged ambiguity in lithic residue identification” by Gilliane Monnier, Jammi Ladwig, and Samantha Porter, in press, Journal of Archaeological Science.

The images used to train the experimental subjects in analysis of lithic residues are included, as well as the images used in the blind tests.  This website will be fully updated by the time the article is published.
