Strike place
A blow space is, according to archaeological definition, a usually low area, on the lithic by dimensional accumulation material processing minerals such as chalcedony , flint , quartzite ( quartzite blow place Voßküppel ), travertine , etc. through the Stone Age , sometimes Bronze Age population is to prove .
At striking places there are mostly chips (waste products) and blanks, such as core stones or blades, as tools were manufactured or prepared in places where the raw material was found in nature. However, raw material that was previously processed and taken along was processed further, so that playing fields can also be found in the mineral-poor areas.
A strike site of the Middle Paleolithic ( Levallois technique ) was found in Markkleeberg ( Saxony ) under the sediments of an Ice Age ground moraine.
