it' can be from rus. 'ostchep' / plastina' ie 'blade' -small blade-like (or flaked) artefacts Explanation: i checked my A Dictionary of Archeology by W.Bray, D. Trump, found Palaeolithic " пластинчато-резцовые индустрии" в верхнем палеолите (38000 до нашей эры) where they (Homo sapiens) used 'flakes' (Rus. "отщепы") and blades -Rus. "пластины" (which - пластина - is 'a long flake with parallel sides or edges) to make small tools / weapons etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2007-01-15 07:43:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- otschep (отщеп). |
