Hoes for farming?[edit]
I removed the claim that ground stone tools were used as hoes, due to doubts raised off-wiki here: http://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/2v7k8a/cool_stone_age_phone_cases/cofg4yp Melchoir (talk) 00:18, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
Confuses groundstone with flaked stone tools[edit]
This article misleadingly incorporates knapped stone technologies into some good information about ground stone tools. Obsidian is not a 'ground stone' tool, and ground stone tools are not flaked, although many peoples ground flints to some degree. They are two exclusive classes of production and artifacts. Needs Heavy Editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.231.151.168 (talk) 13:49, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
I agree that the article confuses groundstone tools with flaked tools and needs to be edited. 206.177.43.73 (talk)
Reference to the Japanese Paleolithic potentially out of date[edit]
"In prehistoric Japan, ground stone tools appear during the Japanese Paleolithic, possibly predating adoption elsewhere in the Neolithic by 25,000 years." - This is followed by a citation of a book published in 1996, before the revelation of the infamous Japanese Paleolithic hoax in 2000. May need to be updated or removed. 2601:986:8002:EDB0:884E:9C62:8863:5460 (talk) 19:35, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
