Answer 2

Explanation:

1)

Hammer and Anvil Technique

The hammer and anvil technique for removing flakes from a core is perhaps one of the oldest documented methods. It is quite effective for making large flakes for direct use as tools, or for use as blanks from which shaped tools can be made. This technique entails using the core as a hammer, and striking the edge of the core against a large, stationary rock (the anvil) in order to remove a flake.

There are a number of disadvantages to the technique, however. The principal disadvantage is that the flintknapper does not have a great deal of control over the flake removal process. A second disadvantage is that the flakes removed in this manner fly up and away from the anvil, becoming very dangerous projectiles for anyone standing nearby.

2)

Hard Hammer Percussion Technique

Both of the techniques already discussed depend on percussion to remove a flake from a core. Hard hammer percussion, as the name implies, relies on the same principles, but provides more control over how the flake is detached. In hard hammer flaking, the core is held in one hand, and struck with a hammerstone. Technically, the hammerstone must be made of a material that is harder that the core material so that it does not shatter in the flintknapper's hands. By using hard hammer percussion, the experienced flintknapper has very good control over where the flake will be detached and the size of the flake.
