stone
Definition
- Concretion of mineral matter, one of the first materials to be used for making artifacts. Very fine grained or glassy stones, such as flint and obsidian, were mainly shaped by chipping or flaking. Other less brittle stones had to be hammered or chiseled into shape and then polished. Precious and decorative stones were also widely used in antiquity.
