Flaked rhyolite from Jettböle: attempts at an experimental explanation
The amount of splinters is very low, 28 % compared to the 50 %,
which is the average in the experiments.
There are a high proportion of lateral fracture fragments and com

of multiple fracturing. Bergmanstorp, on the other hand, has relatively few
Conclusions and discussion

raw material had been tested in order to establish its quality. This explained
where the lithic material had been reduced beyond what was functionally ex

experiments presented in this article. It is clear that Jettböle is much closer to
