BLADE
AURIGNACIAN
SOLVIEUX SITE
SOUTHERN FRANCE

   This is an excellent example of a core blade from the Aurignacian Solvieux site in southern France. It shows very little use wear but enough to indicate that it was probably used for some type of cuttingor scraping job. Three long flake scars can be seen from previous blade removals.  This blade is made of a very good grade of chert and it measures 4 1/8 inches (104mm) long.

Aurignacian core blade.
