The Flintstones didn’t come from Poland. Come on :)
Hanging curveball for ETL.

Early creation of "flake tools" (retouch and use of flakes knocked off core in the course of producing "core tools" such as hand axes & choppers).
(Earlier knappers worked only on the cores -- and discarded the [useful] flakes.)
AFAIK, "Neanderthals" never developed the all-important use of "softer" (antler, bone, wood) tools for "soft hammer" percussion flaking and for the "fine work" of pressure flaking...
I see no evidence at all of the use of "soft" tools in the reported and pictured assemblage.
