Summary
| Description |
English: From source: Elephant-bone tool (NHMUK PV UNREG 4339) from intertidal deposits at the Boxgrove Waterhole Site (Q1/B).
(A) Photographs and (B) three-dimensional (3D) surface model images. The outer cortical surface shows indentations resulting from its use as a flint-knapping tool. Side views illustrate the invasive flaking of the cortical surface. See figs. S1 and S2 for other views. (C) Scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs of features inflicted during use as a knapping tool, including microstriations and embedded flint chips (examples highlighted by dashed ovals), alongside evidence of postdepositional bioerosion. Patches of fine sand and silt adhere to the surface, filling, or partially obscuring depressions. Copyright of the Trustees of the Natural History Museum, London. |
