In archaeology, chipped stone refers to a method of manufacturing stone tools through lithic reduction, wherein lithic flakes are struck off a mass of tool stone with a percussor. The intention is usually either to produce a tool from the remainder of the lithic core after the extraneous material has been removed, or to produce flakes that can be further modified and refined by methods such as trimming and pressure flaking.
