| 1. | Some Acheulean tools were sharpened instead by the removal of a tranchet flake.
|
| 2. | This distinctive tranchet flake can been identified amongst flint-knapping debris at Acheulean sites.
|
| 3. | Flake cleavers have a cutting edge created by a tranchet flake being struck from the primary surface.
|
| 4. | It is found in some Acheulean assemblages, and handaxes created using the method are called tranchet axes.
|
| 5. | In later Neolithic times, the tranchet flake seems to have been replaced by something known as edge-abrasion.
|
| 6. | Included in the site are tranchet flakes; the site is deemed to be a place that was continually used for flintknapping.
|
| 7. | Nearby is Blackwell Hall in the grounds of which have been found neolithic remains, including a flint resharpening flake for tranchet axes.
|
| 8. | Also different is that tranchet arrowheads are made from a blade struck off a core versus being made from debitage like chisel arrowheads.
|
| 9. | Another reason why the results between the experiment and real-life may be different is also the techniques and methods of making tranchet flakes.
|
| 10. | However, it was noted habit could have come into play here : the knappers may have had a routine habit in making the tranchet flakes.
