	MICROBURIN Articles A microburin is the residual produc
		A microburin is the residual product of the creation of a microlith during flint tool manufacture in many different cultures, for instance the European Mesolithic.
		The process, named «microburin blow», involves notching a flint blade and snapping it in two.
		The shorter portion is termed the microburin and unlike the microlith it had no functional purpose.

		Most of the bladelets were made on either single platform or opposed platform cores, and the microburin technique was in frequent use (Garrard 1998).
		The microburin technique was used throughout the period, increasing in frequency of use through time.
		Microburins were an important component (113 recorded), with a few Krukowski variants noted.

	Microlith - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		A microlith is a small stone tool, typically knapped of flint or chert.
		Microliths were either produced from small blades (microblades) or made by snapping normal big blades in a controlled manner, which leaves a very typical piece of waste (microburin).
		The latter type of microliths are called geometric microliths.

		One piece becomes a microlithic tool, while the residue (the microburin) still shows traces of the original notch and fracture.
		Certain trapeze-shaped microliths were made from the central part of a double-notched blade, in which case both ends have the appearance of microburins.
		This procedure allowed the maker to obtain a strong head with a sharp point by breaking up flint blades after making a notch in them -- a practice widespread in Mesolithic as means of manufacturing arrowheads.

		Also missing are the typical geometric microliths and the microburins that result from their manufacture, which are also typical components of late Upper Palaeolithic industries in the Balkans.
		These microliths were made by retouching or modifying blanks rather than by using the microburin technique which characterized Late Palaeolithic microlithic industries.
		The trapezes and other microliths, although not particularly common, were manufactured on flakes or blade segments and were not shaped with the use of the microburin technique but were snapped and then retouched to shape.

		In Fontfaurès, 'microburins' are scarce and almost disappear as the time goes on.
		The main part of the microlithic implements have been produced using the 'microburin' technique – a difference which must reflect a cultural choice since these implements could as well be produced using another technique.

		Wadi Hisban 2 (estimated date of 16-15,000 b.p.) is notable for its array of 'tiny triangles', a kind of geometric microlith fashioned by the microburin technique.
		A reduction sequence can be reconstructed in which blades were initially selected for microburin production, with the first step being the production of concave-truncated bladelets.
		The tips of these were then broken off by microburin technique, leaving long microburins and the resultant trihedral piece, which was further retouched to form a small triangle.

		Two less common types of waste are also produced during microlith manufacture: pieces where the bladelet has snapped horizontally through the notch are termed 'miss-hits' (Fig 4.21); and notched bladelets are often considered as a preliminary stage in the technique.
		Refitting microliths and microburins are rare even on excavated sites, presumably as microliths manufactured by nomadic hunter-gatherers at one location would have been used and possibly discarded or lost at another.
		Whether the apparent lack of unequivocal Mesolithic evidence holds true for the rest of the southern coast is unclear due to the lack of relevant work.

	Looking into Nile Valley-Natufian connections - EgyptSearch Forums
		The Classic Mushabian is characterized by a dominance of arched-back bladelets, La Mouillah points, and scalene triangles, all of which were truncated at one end using the microburin technique.
		The Mushabian was traditionally thought to derive from North Africa via the Nile Delta and the Sinai: “The Mushabian sites in Sinai are interpreted as the remains of mobile groups budded off from the Nile region who were attracted to the expanding, lusher steppic environment” (Bar-Yosef and Meadow 1999, p.55).
		This view was based on the early occurrence of the microburin technique in industries like the Sisilian.
