两极物体在考古组合中很常见。这些物体是由锤子和铁锤打磨而成的，通常以两种相互冲突的方式之一进行分类：核心或楔形。虽然大多数考古学家持第一种观点，但第二种观点在某些地区仍然普遍存在，特别是在北美东部的古印第安人研究中。通过阐述和评估这两种观点的推论，本文得出结论，大多数两极天体--甚至在古印度组合中--都是核心。它还详细记录了两极还原的人种学观察结果。
Bipolar objects are common in archaeological assemblages. Produced by hammer-and-anvil knapping, these objects generally are classified in one of two conflicting ways: as cores or as wedges. Although most archaeologists take the first view, the second remains prevalent in some quarters, especially in eastern North American Paleo-Indian studies. Setting forth and evaluating the corollaries of both views, this article concludes that most bipolar objects—even in Paleo-Indian assemblages—are cores. It also documents ethnographic observations of bipolar reduction at some length.
