Traces referential on raw material from Foz do Chapecó (Brazil) v1

Quite a few lithic use-wear referentials on raw materials from Brazil exist. To further develop use-wear analysis in the country and especially in the region of Foz do Chapecó, new referentials must be created to better understand trace formation on these specific raw materials. This protocol aims to use pieces in a sequential experiment to observe the initial development of wear traces. Given the short duration of the experiment, we do not expect to fully characterize the worked materials. Instead, our goal is to have a better understanding of the use-wear aspect on these raw materials, enabling us to identify relevant traces on archaeological artifacts.
