Debitage (Flakes)

All stages of the manufacturing process are represented in the debitage from the Fredricks site. The relative frequency distribution of debitage types for 2,120 analyzed flakes is as follows: primary (1.6%), secondary (12.6%), interior (62.8%), bifacial thinning (4.6%), and shatter (18.4%). Although all classes are present, interior flakes predominate, and most of the flakes from all contexts are small, being less than 4 cm in size.
