3D scan of a core from layer 9 of the Willendorf II site

3D scan of a 49 mm long core. In lithic production, cores are the starting points, from which all subsequent blanks (e.g. blades or flakes) are knapped off. Sometimes cores were also used secondary as scrapers, as seems to have been the case with this item. It originated from layer 9 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.
