| Flintknapping Simulation Program (VDflaker.exe) |
| This is a program that simulates both the production of flakes and |
| the retouching of flakes into tools. In making a flake, the user can |
| adjust core surface morphology and various platform characteristics |
| such as exterior platform angle, platform thickness, and platform |
| width and then see what effect they have on the resulting flake. You |
| can then retouch the flake as you like into any kind of stone tool. |
