Core

The core is made of very good quality flint from layered or nodular raw materials (lying in natural deposits in layers or individual nodular stones). The inhabitants of the site lived near the outcrops of siliceous layers and did not have a shortage of raw materials for making tools. The rather large size of the core, from which many blanks were obtained, shows that initially its dimensions could have been much larger. The main striking platform was located on the long side of the object, and it is quite straight. Judging by the negatives left, quite large flakes were chipped off of it.
It has a functional purpose: blank for obtaining chips-blanks for tools.
It is a typical item of the Middle Paleolithic era in Europe.
