More than meat : residue analysis results of mauls in Alberta

Description

Mauls are a grooved ground stone tool found at archaeological sites in central and southern Alberta. Rarely studied as a valid tool category, the most commonly assumed function of mauls is the processing of bone and meat. They are often assumed to be of Late Prehistoric date. This paper summarizes a systematic study of mauls in Alberta and focuses on those associated with datable artifacts or radiocarbon dates. Results show mauls were used for more than pounding meat and bone.
