Working at... "Oh, my! Scrapers and Choppers and Picks. Oh, my!"

I warned you that any subversions will take a back seat to moving World Headquarters 1500 km to the north at the end of June. Nevertheless, I can't resist banging, once again, on the persistence of using functional labels for stone artifacts in the Early [or Lower] Palaeolithic. I'm working on it.

From phys.org come claims of function ascribed to "early" palaeolithic stone artifacts from the site of Guochachang II in the Danjiangkou Reservoir area.
