3D model of a core from layer 5 of the Willendorf II site

3D scan of a 62 mm long core. In lithic production, cores are the starting points, from which all subsequent blanks (e.g. blades or flakes) are knapped off. This core seems to have been used mainly for the production of regular blades. It originated from layer 5 of the Willendorf II site in the Wachau Region in Lower Austria. It constitutes one of the numerous artefacts found in the same site as the Venus of Willendorf.
