harvest sheen Explanation: Najstarsze znaleziska sierpów pochodzą z terenu obecnej Jordanii i Izraela.To właśnie tam (dokładnie w okolicach Wadi Ziqlab w Jordanii i Mount Caramel w Izraelu) znaleziono krzemienne ostrza o charakterystycznym, podłużnym i prostokątnym kształcie (wykonane w tzw. technice wiórowej), które służyły do ścinania roślin już ponad 10 000 lat temu. Wskazują na to także ślady pozostawione na nich przez rośliny (to tzw. wyświecenie żniwne czyli charakterystyczny połysk, wyglądający jak zatłuszczenie, który pozostaje na krzemieniu po długim używaniu go do cięcia roślin). - http://www.smakczasu.pl/sierp-przyjaciel-pierwszych-rolnikow... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 mins (2019-09-09 13:51:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- 4. Fragment of blade with evident steep retouching of one edge. The retouch on the inner side is accompanied by a slight harvest sheen, which is also visible on the ridges of the retouch - http://www.old.pcma.uw.edu.pl/fileadmin/pam/PAM_1989_I/482.p... |

sickle sheen Explanation: Developing an understanding of the process of sickle sheen formation is critical in evaluating archaeological interpretations of such deposits, or their absence, on flaked stone tools. A series of controlled experiments was carried out to evaluate extant hypotheses of plant silica depositions on stone tools. The results of experimentation were documented with the scanning electron microscope. Based on the documentation, several conclusions were reached: (1) two distinct types of sickle sheen are produced from the processing of plant materials; (2) the type of sickle sheen produced is dependent upon the stage in the life cycle of the plant when processed; and (3) the different extant hypotheses for the processes and products of sickle sheen deposition could be a result of either differing preparation techniques or different research interests. - https://www.jstor.org/stable/23272990?seq=1#page_scan_tab_co... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 59 mins (2019-09-09 13:55:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sickle-gloss, or sickle sheen, is a silica residue found on blades such as sickles and scythes suggesting that they have been used to cut the silica-rich stems of cereals and forming an indirect proof for incipient agriculture - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sickle-gloss |
