Direct and indirect percussion are two fundamental stone tool-making techniques used by prehistoric humans to shape stone implements. These techniques played a crucial role in the technological evolution of hominins and are extensively studied in Archaeological Anthropology to understand cognitive development, manual dexterity, and cultural advancement. The study of percussion techniques helps archaeologists reconstruct prehistoric manufacturing processes and identify different cultural traditions. Direct percussion is the earliest and simplest method of stone tool production. In this technique, the toolmaker strikes the core stone directly with a hammerstone or another hard object to detach flakes. The hammer may be made of hard stone (hard hammer percussion) or softer material such as antler, bone, or hardwood (soft hammer percussion).
