Lithic core
In archaeology, a lithic core is a distinctive artifact that results from the practice of lithic reduction.In this sense, a core is the scarred nucleus resulting from the detachment of one or more flakes from a lump of source material or tool stone, usually by using a hard hammer percussor such as a hammerstone.

Lithic reduction
Lithic reduction involves the use of a hard hammer percussor, such as a hammerstone, a soft hammer fabricator (made of wood, bone or antler), or a wood or antler punch to detach lithic flakes from a lump of tool stone called a lithic core (also known as the "objective piece").As flakes are detached in sequence, the original mass of stone is reduced; hence the term for this process.

A stone tool is, in the most general sense, any tool made either partially or entirely out of stone. Although stone tool-dependent societies and cultures still exist today, most stone tools are associated with prehistoric, particularly Stone Age cultures that have become extinct. Archaeologists often study such prehistoric societies, and refer to the study of stone tools as lithic analysis. Ethnoarchaeology has been a valuable research field in order to further the understanding and cultural implications of stone tool use and manufacture. Stone has been used to make a wide variety of different tools throughout history, including arrow heads, spearpoints and querns. Stone tools may be made of either ground stone or chipped stone, and a person who creates tools out of the latter is known as a flintknapper.
Chipped stone tools are made from cryptocrystalline materials such as chert or flint, radiolarite, chalcedony, obsidian, basalt, and quartzite via a process known as lithic reduction. One simple form of reduction is to strike stone flakes from a nucleus (core) of material using a hammerstone or similar hard hammer fabricator. If the goal of the reduction strategy is to produce flakes, the remnant lithic core may be discarded once it has become too small to use. In some strategies, however, a flintknapper reduces the core to a rough unifacial or bifacial preform, which is further reduced using soft hammer flaking techniques or by pressure flaking the edges. More complex forms of reduction include the production of highly standardized blades, which can then be fashioned into a variety of tools such as scrapers, knives, sickles and microliths. In general terms, chipped stone tools are nearly ubiquitous in all pre-metal-using societies because they are easily manufactured, the tool stone is usually plentiful, and they are easy to transport and sharpen.
From the 19th century archaeologists had been turning up prehistoric worked stone tools that appeared to be typologically classifiable into taxa. They referred to these homotaxial groups of stone tools as industries and named them after the type site; for example, Acheulean after Saint Acheul, and later Oldowan from Olduvai Gorge. In the earlier 20th century they became complexes and technologies; in the later, technocomplexes. So, in archaeology a technocomplex is a distinct culture that employed a specific technology.

"Knapping" is the shaping of flint, chert, obsidian or other conchoidal fracturing stone through the process of lithic reduction to manufacture stone tools, strikers for flintlock firearms, or to produce flat-faced stones for building or facing walls, and flushwork decoration. The original Germanic term "knopp" meant strike, shape, or work, so it could theoretically have referred equally well to making a statue or dice. Modern usage is more specific, referring almost exclusively to the hand-tool pressure-flaking process pictured.
Flintknapping or knapping is done in a variety of ways depending on the purpose of the final product. For stone tools and flintlock strikers, chert is worked using a fabricator such as a hammerstone to remove lithic flakes from a nucleus or core of tool stone. Stone tools can then be further refined using wood, bone, and antler tools to perform pressure flaking.
For building work a hammer or pick is used to split chert nodules supported on the lap. Often the chert nodule will be split in half to create two cherts with a flat circular face for use in walls constructed of lime. More sophisticated knapping is employed to produce almost perfect cubes which are used as bricks.
There are many different methods of shaping stone into useful tools. Early knappers could have used simple hammers made of wood or antler to shape stone tools. The factors that contribute to the knapping results are varied, but the EPA indeed influences many attributes, such as length, thickness and termination of flakes.

I found this old video while organizing my files. It's just a short study on my technique for spalling thin blades. Hope you like it.
This chert was found in a cave in central Texas by a friend of mine. It is part of the Edwards Plateau formation and is similar (slightly inferior) to Georgetown flint.

Dark Inky Fruit, New Oak, Full-Bodied
Very dark and inky colour, impenetrable with a dark purple core. High viscosity. Intense nose, floral with violet. Inky dark fruit like blackberry, black cherry and plum. Quite modern style here. Fair amount of new oak as well. Very dense on the palate. High concentration, high extraction. So plenty of tannin, with that dark inky fruit. Fair amount of that new oak as well. So really full-bodied, very dense. Long and persistent. I suppose this is a wine that will become very good in the coming few years. Today it is a bit more lithic, with that high level of extract and density. I would say, extract is fine, it is not harsh. It is just a lot of everything. I would say, a wine with very fine potential but it should deserve another two to three years in a good cellar.

In archaeology, a lithic core is a distinctive artifact that results from the practice of lithic reduction. In this sense, a core is the scarred nucleus resulting from the detachment of one or more flakes from a lump of source material or tool stone, usually by using a hard hammer percussor such as a hammerstone. The core is marked with the negative scars of these flakes. The surface area of the core which received the blows necessary for detaching the flakes is referred to as the striking platform. The core may be discarded or shaped further into a core tool, such as can be seen in some types of handaxe.
The purpose of lithic reduction may be to rough out a blank for later refinement into a projectile point, knife, or other stone tool, or it may be performed in order to obtain sharp flakes, from which a variety of simple tools can be made. Generally, the presence of a core is indicative of the latter process, since the former process usually leaves no core. Cores may be subdivided into specific types by a lithic analyst. Type frequencies, as well as the general types of materials at an archaeological site, can give the lithic analyst a better understanding of the lithic reduction processes occurring at that site.

Lithic core In archaeology, a lithic core is a distinctive artifact that results from the practice of lithic reduction.In this sense, a core is the scarred nucleus resulting from the detachment of one or more flakes from a lump of source material or tool stone, usually by using a hard hammer percussor such as a hammerstone. =======Image-Copyright-Info======== License: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 (CC BY 3.0) LicenseLink: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0 Image Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nucleus_Brassempouy_Global_fond.jpg =======Image-Copyright-Info======== -Video is targeted to blind users Attribution: Article text available under CC-BY-SA image source in video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFf5SuU4Ing -
Lithic reduction
Lithic reduction Lithic reduction involves the use of a hard hammer percussor, such as a hammerstone, a soft hammer fabricator (made of wood, bone or antler), or a wood or antler punch to detach lithic flakes from a lump of tool stone called a lithic core (also known as the "objective piece").As flakes are detached in sequence, the original mass of stone is reduced; hence the term for this process. =======Image-Copyright-Info======= Image is in public domainImage Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hard_Hammer.jpg =======Image-Copyright-Info======== -Video is targeted to blind users Attribution: Article text available under CC-BY-SA image source in video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACELwLcBjW8 -
Making Stone Tools - That's Nice TV
A stone tool is, in the most general sense, any tool made either partially or entirely out of stone. Although stone tool-dependent societies and cultures still exist today, most stone tools are associated with prehistoric, particularly Stone Age cultures that have become extinct. Archaeologists often study such prehistoric societies, and refer to the study of stone tools as lithic analysis. Ethnoarchaeology has been a valuable research field in order to further the understanding and cultural implications of stone tool use and manufacture. Stone has been used to make a wide variety of different tools throughout history, including arrow heads, spearpoints and querns. Stone tools may be made of either ground stone or chipped stone, and a person who creates tools out of the latter is known as ... -
Knapping - Video Learning - WizScience.com
"Knapping" is the shaping of flint, chert, obsidian or other conchoidal fracturing stone through the process of lithic reduction to manufacture stone tools, strikers for flintlock firearms, or to produce flat-faced stones for building or facing walls, and flushwork decoration. The original Germanic term "knopp" meant strike, shape, or work, so it could theoretically have referred equally well to making a statue or dice. Modern usage is more specific, referring almost exclusively to the hand-tool pressure-flaking process pictured. Flintknapping or knapping is done in a variety of ways depending on the purpose of the final product. For stone tools and flintlock strikers, chert is worked using a fabricator such as a hammerstone to remove lithic flakes from a nucleus or core of tool stone. ... -
174 - Spalling Blades From Raw Chert (Flint) Core
I found this old video while organizing my files. It's just a short study on my technique for spalling thin blades. Hope you like it. This chert was found in a cave in central Texas by a friend of mine. It is part of the Edwards Plateau formation and is similar (slightly inferior) to Georgetown flint. -
Ktima Pavlidis - Emphasis Syrah 2012 - PGI Drama
Ktima Pavlidis - Emphasis Syrah 2012 - PGI Drama tasted 100% blind by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson. Dark Inky Fruit, New Oak, Full-Bodied Very dark and inky colour, impenetrable with a dark purple core. High viscosity. Intense nose, floral with violet. Inky dark fruit like blackberry, black cherry and plum. Quite modern style here. Fair amount of new oak as well. Very dense on the palate. High concentration, high extraction. So plenty of tannin, with that dark inky fruit. Fair amount of that new oak as well. So really full-bodied, very dense. Long and persistent. I suppose this is a wine that will become very good in the coming few years. Today it is a bit more lithic, with that high level of extract and density. I would say, extract is fine, it is not harsh. It is jus... -

Pressure-Assisted Macroblades
11/21 This video is part of a series of educational videos on flintknapping for ANTH 3201 Lithic Analysis taught by Dr. Julie Cormack at Mount Royal University. These videos were produced by the Media Production Team at MRU. The conceptual idea and project organization came from Julie Cormack. In this video, archaeologist Eugene Gryba demonstrates a specialized technique involving the use of a hand-crafted pressure stick to remove large blades from an obsidian core. He also explains the importance of platform and edge preparation using an antler and stone abrader. -

Lithic reduction
Lithic reduction involves the use of a hard hammer percussor, such as a hammerstone, a soft hammer fabricator (made of wood, bone or antler), or a wood or antler punch to detach lithic flakes from a lump of tool stone called a lithic core (also known as the "objective piece").As flakes are detached in sequence, the original mass of stone is reduced; hence the term for this process.

A stone tool is, in the most general sense, any tool made either partially or entirely out of stone. Although stone tool-dependent societies and cultures still exist today, most stone tools are associated with prehistoric, particularly Stone Age cultures that have become extinct. Archaeologists often study such prehistoric societies, and refer to the study of stone tools as lithic analysis. Ethnoarchaeology has been a valuable research field in order to further the understanding and cultural implications of stone tool use and manufacture. Stone has been used to make a wide variety of different tools throughout history, including arrow heads, spearpoints and querns. Stone tools may be made of either ground stone or chipped stone, and a person who creates tools out of the latter is known as a flintknapper.
Chipped stone tools are made from cryptocrystalline materials such as chert or flint, radiolarite, chalcedony, obsidian, basalt, and quartzite via a process known as lithic reduction. One simple form of reduction is to strike stone flakes from a nucleus (core) of material using a hammerstone or similar hard hammer fabricator. If the goal of the reduction strategy is to produce flakes, the remnant lithic core may be discarded once it has become too small to use. In some strategies, however, a flintknapper reduces the core to a rough unifacial or bifacial preform, which is further reduced using soft hammer flaking techniques or by pressure flaking the edges. More complex forms of reduction include the production of highly standardized blades, which can then be fashioned into a variety of tools such as scrapers, knives, sickles and microliths. In general terms, chipped stone tools are nearly ubiquitous in all pre-metal-using societies because they are easily manufactured, the tool stone is usually plentiful, and they are easy to transport and sharpen.
From the 19th century archaeologists had been turning up prehistoric worked stone tools that appeared to be typologically classifiable into taxa. They referred to these homotaxial groups of stone tools as industries and named them after the type site; for example, Acheulean after Saint Acheul, and later Oldowan from Olduvai Gorge. In the earlier 20th century they became complexes and technologies; in the later, technocomplexes. So, in archaeology a technocomplex is a distinct culture that employed a specific technology.

"Knapping" is the shaping of flint, chert, obsidian or other conchoidal fracturing stone through the process of lithic reduction to manufacture stone tools, strikers for flintlock firearms, or to produce flat-faced stones for building or facing walls, and flushwork decoration. The original Germanic term "knopp" meant strike, shape, or work, so it could theoretically have referred equally well to making a statue or dice. Modern usage is more specific, referring almost exclusively to the hand-tool pressure-flaking process pictured.
Flintknapping or knapping is done in a variety of ways depending on the purpose of the final product. For stone tools and flintlock strikers, chert is worked using a fabricator such as a hammerstone to remove lithic flakes from a nucleus or core of tool stone. Stone tools can then be further refined using wood, bone, and antler tools to perform pressure flaking.
For building work a hammer or pick is used to split chert nodules supported on the lap. Often the chert nodule will be split in half to create two cherts with a flat circular face for use in walls constructed of lime. More sophisticated knapping is employed to produce almost perfect cubes which are used as bricks.
There are many different methods of shaping stone into useful tools. Early knappers could have used simple hammers made of wood or antler to shape stone tools. The factors that contribute to the knapping results are varied, but the EPA indeed influences many attributes, such as length, thickness and termination of flakes.

Ktima Pavlidis - Emphasis Syrah 2012 - PGI Drama tasted 100% blind by the Best Sommelier of the World, Andreas Larsson.
Dark Inky Fruit, New Oak, Full-Bodied
Very dark and inky colour, impenetrable with a dark purple core. High viscosity. Intense nose, floral with violet. Inky dark fruit like blackberry, black cherry and plum. Quite modern style here. Fair amount of new oak as well. Very dense on the palate. High concentration, high extraction. So plenty of tannin, with that dark inky fruit. Fair amount of that new oak as well. So really full-bodied, very dense. Long and persistent. I suppose this is a wine that will become very good in the coming few years. Today it is a bit more lithic, with that high level of extract and density. I would say, extract is fine, it is not harsh. It is just a lot of everything. I would say, a wine with very fine potential but it should deserve another two to three years in a good cellar.

11/21 This video is part of a series of educational videos on flintknapping for ANTH 3201 Lithic Analysis taught by Dr. Julie Cormack at Mount Royal University. These videos were produced by the Media Production Team at MRU. The conceptual idea and project organization came from Julie Cormack. In this video, archaeologist Eugene Gryba demonstrates a specialized technique involving the use of a hand-crafted pressure stick to remove large blades from an obsidian core. He also explains the importance of platform and edge preparation using an antler and stone abrader.
