Vardi等人最近的文章，“Tracing sickle blade levels of wear and dispose patterns：a new sickle gloss quantification method”（Journal of Archaeological Science 37（2010）1716-1724），以及Goodale等人，“镰刀刀片生命史和农业的过渡：西南亚新石器时代早期的案例研究”（考古科学杂志37（2010）1192-1201），是两篇论文，旨在通过开发新的方法来测量石器使用的持续时间来解决有趣的考古问题。在这里评论的时尚，研究设计和分析程序有助于限制每个技术的能力。虽然作者支持研究新技术，但为了使任何使用磨损分析的结果被认为是可靠的，所采用的方法必须是可证明的合理方法。
The recent articles by Vardi et al., “Tracing sickle blade levels of wear and discard patterns: a new sickle gloss quantification method” (Journal of Archaeological Science 37 (2010) 1716–1724), and Goodale et al., “Sickle blade life-history and the transition to agriculture: an early Neolithic case study from Southwest Asia” (Journal of Archaeological Science 37 (2010) 1192–1201), are two papers that seek to address interesting archaeological questions through the development of new approaches to measuring the duration of stone tool use. Here comment is made on the fashion in which research design and analytic procedures contribute to limit the capabilities of each of the techniques presented. Whilst the authors support the investigation of novel techniques, in order for the results of any use-wear analysis to be accepted as reliable the methods employed must be demonstrably sound.
