Answer:

Explanation:

A flake generally has very sharp edges, making it useful for cutting, scraping, and carving. Some flakes are worked into projectile points for an atlatl or bow. Flintknappers primarily use two techniques to remove flakes: percussion (striking flakes) and pressure flaking (pushing flakes).
