LARGE CORE
WITH REFIT BLADES This picture shows three views of a large core that was excavated on an Aurignacian site in southern France. The flakes were found in a small area just where they fell thousands of years ago. Several cores were found on this site and painstakingly refitted back together. In some areas of the excavation the flakes left an outline around the legs and body of the individual that reduced the core. This core measures approximately 12 inches (31cm) long. |
