Micro-wear data from robotic use-wear experiments on force

This data is the result of highly controlled experiments investigating the influence of force and duration on lithic micro-wear using a robot arm. Its targeted application is in archaeology and anthropology on the study of human tool use in the prehistory. The data consists of three zip files of html reports containing experimental data together with the microscopic images, and MATLAB scripts of the analysis methods. The images were collected at different stages of the experiment using a focus variation microscope, which produces true-color as well as topographic images.
