Pieces Esquilles

[uniface]

French term (they were the first to get serious with this stuff and set the tone) meaning "splitting wedges."

One large, on which the edge-to-edge/overshot (outrepassé) flaking the Paleo people did so well is immediately apparent, and one small. Key is the battered, splintered edges on opposite sides (sometimes all four).
