Lithic Core

An important piece in Archaeology. A core is a parent source through which lithic reduction (knocking pieces off) is used to produce tools and or weapons.

Much like a classic sculptor would use a hammer and chisel to create, the Native American's used a stone age tool called a hammer stone and the antler of a deer or antelope to shape and create the tools they needed to survive. I found three lithic core's today and two beautiful flakes.
