The effects of exterior and lateral platform morphology and raw material on flake size and shape: results from new controlled experiments (2017)
DOCUMENT Citation Only George Leader. Aylar Abdollahzadeh. Sam Lin. Harold Dibble.

Previous controlled experiments have illustrated that exterior platform angle and platform depth have a strong influence on the size and shape of a flake. Using specially made cores and a hydraulic knapping machine we present results from two new controlled experiments. The first of these involves altering the exterior and lateral margins of the platform and seeing the effects these changes have on flake mass in relation to platform depth. In the second controlled experiment, glass cores...
