It has been suggested that such an artifact may have been used as an "acorn anvil" or in some way related to the preparation of the acorn in the hulling process.
Core Hammerstones Some investigators tend to place core hammerstones in a class with flaked tools, but in the present paper they are classed as an artifact of pecked stone.
This is probably the result of the more extensive excavations carried out in the areas of greatest artifact concentration.
With the exception of scraper planes they were the most frequent artifact group encountered.

Now the other extreme has the artifact versus the "naturifact" and the talk of culture in such loose terms as preblade industries.

What has earlier been referred to by many authors as the "ceremonial killing" of an artifact might also be viewed as the end product of function.
The furrows vary in breadth and depth and appear to be a function, essentially, of the amount and kind of wear to which the artifactwas subjected.
