Who named this shape? And why is it named "tripod"? Of course, there are three stones, but there are many possible shapes with three stones that have more resemblance to a tripod.

If remembering correctly, the term tripod group was coined by James Davies in his book Life and Death published by Ishi Press some decades ago.
