Everyday conversational narratives of personal experience might be regarded as the country cousins of more well-wrought narratives. The work of archaeologist Nicolas Toth revolutionized the understanding of Stone Age tools. Prior to Toth's studies, the received perspective was that early hominids chipped a coble in such a way that it could be used as pick or hand ax. Researchers considered the splintered flakes as waste products and examined them for information about techniques used to shape the stone core tool. While others were analyzing the morphological shapes and cognitive correlates of the chipped cores, Toth, in a radical turnabout, discovered that the flakes were the primary tools and that the large stone was an incidental by-product, possibly a secondary tool. The flakes turned out to be"extremely effective cutting tools" for animals, wood, hides, and other work. We posit that, like stone flakes, mundane conversation narratives of personal experience constitute the prototype of narrative activity rather than the flawed by-product of more artful and planned narrative discourse.
