4. Core lengths for both samples range between 1.51 and 2.51 cm (78% of all cases in HD97 and 70% in HD96), widths between 1.51 and 2.51 cm (78% of all cases in HD96 and 52% in HD97; 36% of cores width in HD97 is comprised between 2.51 and 3.01), and thicknesses between 1.01 and 2.51 cm (more than 80% in both assemblages). Flake lengths and widths range between 0.51 and 3.01 cm in more than 80% of both assemblages. Flake thicknesses range between 0.41 and 0.81 cm in over 70% of all cases from HD96 and HD97.
