Eclat massif débordant (Large?) core edge flake Explanation: "éclat débordant" = "core edge flake" (see first reference). My feeling is that the "massif" bit isn't necessarily required in English (see Fig. 6 in the second reference), or that it perhaps simply refers to a more substantial flake. If this is a specialised text, you don't need to insert any reference to "lithic" as this will be understood. Reference: http://www.paleoanthro.org/static/journal/content/PA20110334... https://www.persee.fr/doc/bspf_0249-7638_2012_num_109_2_14110 |

lithic debitage/ core flake Explanation: The term refers to the remains of a used up lithic tool. I'm guessing that you're translating something like a report or field note because you'd be less likely to see a term like this used in a book or journal. I can't tell for sure because you haven't provided enough context, but if there's more than one eclat massif debordant, I'd use the term stone or lithic debitage, but if it's a single find, I'd use the term core flake. I'm a professional field archaeologist. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days 10 hrs (2019-11-30 22:56:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Something to note here is that what's actually being referred to is an eclat debordant... en massif. This may be the source of the confusion. |

massive overshot flake / massive plunging flake Explanation: = éclat massif et débordant = a massive [very large] flake that is overshot or plunging (see below discussions of the choice of overshot vs. plunging) sources: -https://ore.exeter.ac.uk/repository/bitstream/handle/10871/1... "In terms of Clovis technology, Bradley, et al. (2010:68) describe an overshot flake as a piece that when struck travels from “one margin across a face of a biface (or any other form)” ultimately removing the opposite margin of the parent piece. However, Inizan, et al., (1999) describe overshots as a “plunging” flake where the termination arches “sharply” forward. Inizan, et al. (1999) acknowledge that overshooting a flake can be either accidental or intentional"... "Regardless of being technological, morphological, or a fatal error, the use of the terms “overshot” and “plunging” are synonymous within the realm of fracture mechanics, specifically the load, force, and energy that is required to create them" - https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/ca38/5110c8b2a909c1e5531d22... "Overshot flakes or flake scars interpreted as intentional and positive outcomes are called “overshot specimens.” However, tech- nologically speaking, overshot flakes or flake scars may also represent unintended and negative outcomes, such as when an early stage basal thinning flake plunges, splitting a biface in half. We call these negative examples “plunging speci- mens.” By presenting three plunging specimens below, we hope to elucidate the distinction between margin removal and end removal that Bradley et al. [1] make in their defini- tion of overshot flaking." -myself (lithic archaeologist) https://ore.exeter.ac.uk/repository/bitstream/handle/10871/17564/LittlefieldN.pdf?sequence=3&isAllowed=n https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/ca38/5110c8b2a909c1e5531d229c30a6011eeacb.pdf |
