Quantifying Butchery by Handaxe

Oh, of course this isn't about serial killers (but maybe it would make a good title for a movie), but Archaeological Data Service has a new article on experimental archaeology using Acheulean handaxes, and it is very interesting indeed:

• Quantifying the Functional Utility of Handaxe Symmetry: An Experimental Butchery Approach, by Anna Machin, Robert Hosfield and Steven Mithen on ADS
• Experimental Archaeology
• Handaxes
• Acheulean Tradition
• Homo erectus

This photo is of a handaxe recovered from a gravel site in Dunbridge, Hampshire, and it was taken by Wessex Archaeology.
