Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between reduction and adze form using an assemblage of ground stone adzes from Ban Non Wat, northeast Thailand. Methods for detecting reduction on ground stone adzes are proposed and tested against the assemblage. The results indicate that changes in adze form may occur as reduction proceeds, which casts doubt on the usefulness of traditional adze typologies.
