Simulating the prehistoric use of fire through computer models
(PHYSorg.com Archaeology & Fossils)

Archaeologists often use the percentages of heat-affected stone or bone artifacts found at archaeological sites as a way to determine how frequently fire was used by the inhabitants. Andrew Sorensen and Fulco Scherjon have come up with a computer model called `fiReproxies` to simulate how fires used by prehistoric peoples affect artefacts buried in the substrate below.
