FLAKE AXE index


Definition and terminology in accordance with Andersen et al 1975: 16-19, although not the minimum measure (4 cm). The flake axe is made on a large flake, and some of its original surface must be part of the edge. The edge may be modified on one side by edge flaking (ibid, 10). If both sides of the edge are secondary to the flake, the artifact is classified as a core axe. (Bjerck 1983, 17)
