Abstract

Many researchers have hypothesized an analogous, and possibly evolutionary, relationship between Paleolithic stone tool manufacture and language. This study uses a unique design to investigate how spoken language may affect the transmission of learning to make stone tools and comes to surprising results that may have important implications for our views of this relationship. We conducted an experiment to test the effect of verbal communication on large core biface manufacture during the earliest stages of learning. Previously untrained flintknappers were assigned to two different communication conditions, one with and one without spoken language, and were instructed to replicate the bifaces produced by the same instructor. The attempted bifaces (total = 334) from the two groups were compared using an Elliptical Fourier analysis, the Flip Test, and a rating scale by an independent lithicist. We found no significant difference in the overall shape, symmetry, or other measures of skill among the two groups, using all three of these methods. Analysis of the 18,149 debitage elements from the experiment, however, revealed that the two groups set up their striking platforms in fundamentally different ways. The nonverbal group produced more efficient flakes than the verbal group, as evidenced by the significantly higher ratios of platform width to platform thickness and size to mass of the nonverbal subjects’ flakes. These results indicate that verbal interaction is not a necessary c…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
