Abstract

This dataset consists of flake models representing archaeological materials from Tabun Cave, Israel. They were excavated in the late 1960's to early 1970's by a team led by Arthur J. Jelinek of the University of Arizona. This Tabun Unit IX assemblage was knapped by hominins approximately 255,000 years ago. The flakes are housed at the University of Arizona's School of Anthropology. These models are of the flakes that were created, or knapped off, as hominins made stone tools. They were created for the purpose of studying scar directionality in archaeological chipped stone analysis, and formed part of the archaeological side of a dissertation by Matthew D. Hunstiger.

Description

Dataset consists of one ZIP archive containing 279 virtual flake models, each represented by one OBJ file with an accompanying MTL file, for 558 total files. The flakes were scanned with a NextEngine Inc.’s Desktop 3D Scanner SD (standard definition) or HD (high definition), and then virtually assembled using 3D Systems' Inc. Geomagic Design X and Verify. These models can be viewed with a variety of software, for example http://3dviewer.net/.
