TOOLS & FLAKES PRODUCED This picture shows all 16 points, 217 tools and most of the flaking debris that were produced from the 14 pound (6.350 kilograms) nodule. The inset hand is holding the original nodule from which the artifacts were made. Most of the flakes around the outside edge are rough outer cortex flakes unsuitable for tool making. The 16 points represented in the center are Etley, Godar, Matanzas and 1 un-notched biface or cache blade. The lower pile of flakes, underneath the nodule and to the right, are spoke shaves. The two piles of tools on the right and left side of the points are end-scrapers. The long narrow flakes circling the top of the points are flake knives. The 10 pointed tools at top right are reamers and the 11 tools with small points at upper left are gravers. The debris flakes are piled around all four sides. The total production time to make everything in this picture is 14 hours and 37 minutes.
