  More info

  Toby Morrow argues that I (Kuhn 1994) made an error in calculating the utility/mass ratio of retouched tools, and he proposes an alternative formula. Unfortunately, morrow coufounds utility per se with ratio of utility to weight, and as a result, his alternative approach is erroneus. This response to Morrow examines the central issue of how artifact utility is assessed. The main message of my original paper is reaffimed. Utility/mass ratios eventually begin to decline as artifacts get large, an optimal size range can be estimated based on a few simplifying assomptions
