Abstract:

Results from use-wear and residue analyses of 194 Stone Age slate tools from northern Norway. The file slate_tools_2018-19 covers all of the 194 tools, while the file slate_tools_2019 provides details of the tools analysed that year. The data provide information on the observations made on each toll. They include interpretations of gestures used (e.g. cutting, slicing, scraping) with the tools, as well as the material they were used on (e.g.marine mammals, ungulates, small fur animals and fish, fresh or dry meat, fresh or dry hide).
