Abstract
The authors analyze a cache of lithic tools at Udora (a site situated along the strandline of former glacial Lake Algonquin in southern Ontario), employing a methodology of analyzing micro-flakes removed during use of the tools to determine the amount of force applied and the mechanical properties of the material to which the tool was applied. Also discussed are land use and seasonality, the task that the tools were last used for, and how long the tools were used.
