English term

core tool vs. flake tool

English to Romanian Science Anthropology
Core tool
Flintworkers first trimmed a suitable
piece of flint into a core tool by
striking it with a stone hammer, such
as a quartzite pebble. The tool was
then roughly the right shape to be
worked into a handaxe.

Flake tool
The flintworkers learned to
predict how the stone would
break when sharply hit with the
stone hammer. They then sliced
off long flakes from the
underside of the core tool. This
gave the axe a sharp, strong
edge.

unealtă cioplită vs. aşchie

sau unealtă din piatră cioplită vs. aşchie de piatră

Tipologic, aceste unelte par a apartine culturii de prund, adica sunt realizate prin percutie directa, care are drept urmare desprinderea unor aschii de pe nucleu. Unealta propriu-zisa este cea ce ramâne din nucleu.

Note from asker:
Am găsit nucleu arhaic şi mă găndeam sa folosesc cumva asta pentru "core tool". În ceea ce priveşte "flake tool" e clar că este aşchie.
E super situl. Mulţumesc!
