The typology of the French archaeologist Franois Bordes classified Mousterian tools into 63 types which occurred in set frequencies, creating four fundamental patterns. Bordes argued that these four patterns reflected four different cultural groups of Neanderthals. Bordes' typology
 
  a. assumed that the stone tools were in their final intended form, rather than in forms that resulted from resharpening.
  b. was completely wrong, illustrating how poorly constructed typologies can lead a researcher astray.
  c. has stood the test of time; different tribes of Neanderthals are still thought to have been responsible for the different patterns of Mousterian artifacts.
  d. categorized morphological variation improperly; proper categorization would have resulted in a correct interpretation of the assemblages.
  e. should have looked outside Mousterian sites.

Question 2

The Frison Effect explains the change in the shape of stone tools as a result of
 
  a. different cultural groups occupying the same site at different times.
  b. different mental templates of different flintknappers within the same cultural group.
  c. tool resharpening.
  d. differences in stone tool typologies.
  e. whether they were from prehistoric sites
