Talk:Ground stone

Hoes for farming?

I removed the claim that ground stone tools were used as hoes, due to doubts raised off-wiki here: http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/2v7k8a/cool_stone_age_phone_cases/cofg4yp Melchoir (talk) 00:18, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Confuses groundstone with flaked stone tools

This article misleadingly incorporates knapped stone technologies into some good information about ground stone tools. Obsidian is not a 'ground stone' tool, and ground stone tools are not flaked, although many peoples ground flints to some degree. They are two exclusive classes of production and artifacts.

I agree that the article confuses groundstone tools with flaked tools and needs to be edited. 206.177.43.73 (talk)

Reference to the Japanese Paleolithic potentially out of date

"In prehistoric Japan, ground stone tools appear during the Japanese Paleolithic, possibly predating adoption elsewhere in the Neolithic by 25,000 years." - This is followed by a citation of a book published in 1996, before the revelation of the infamous Japanese Paleolithic hoax in 2000. May need to be updated or removed. 2601:986:8002:EDB0:884E:9C62:8863:5460 (talk) 19:35, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Polished axe

The article mixes up two fundamentally different types of artefacts: polished axes and grindstones. Joostik (talk) 18:33, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
