Microburin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A microburin is the residual product of the creation of a microlith during flint tool manufacture in the European Mesolithic. The process, named «microburin blow», involves notching a flint blade and snapping it in two. The shorter portion is termed the microburin and unlike the microlith it had no functional purpose.
