Discoidal core

The blank for this core, which, in turn, is itself a blank, was a small flint pebble or irregularly rounded nodule, covered with a light calcareous crust. The core was used to obtain blanks for a number of tools. Small, apparently test, chips were removed from the edges of the core towards the center. Striking platforms (areas where a blow must be applied to split) were almost not specially designed; the blow was delivered directly to the pebble crust. In some places, chips were applied to both sides of the blank. Probably, the craftsman was not satisfied with the characteristics of the blanks they received, the core was not fully used, perhaps the raw materials turned out to be of poor quality and were thrown away as unnecessary.
It has a functional purpose: blank for obtaining chips-blanks for tools.
It is a typical product of the Middle Paleolithic era in Europe.
