Levallois technique (<subtractive processes and techniques>, <processes and techniques by specific type>, Processes and Techniques (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Stone knapping technique used in the Palaeolithic period which involved the striking off of flakes from a prepared core to be used as scrapers of knives. This procedure was more sophisticated than earlier techniques. Named after an archaeological site near Paris. |
