This volume investigates a technique for the functional analysis of obsidian tools. It reviews the current state of flint use-wear studies and applies the theories generated there to obsidian. The experimental programme shows the potential success of the technique, which can allow the use-action and use-material to be interpreted, and demonstrates the limitations. Residues play an important role as they are more easily seen on obsidian than flint. The discussion includes an assessment of wear formation theories and the role of functional information within archaeology. The technique and approach is brought to bear on a small archaeological case study: the lunates from the Bronze Age Sardinian site of Ortu Comidu.
