I'm testing how certain factors effect variation in handaxe form (particularly percussor technology) for a PhD project - I'll be using some flint too, but the porcelain would be handy for standardisation. Thanks for the offer, but you're probably right about shipping costs! Wow, sounds like an interesting material! I've been desperately searching for a mass-produced material to use for this experiment, but no luck so far.

I have, but not heard anything back yet - fingers crossed!

Hi there! I'm an archaeologist planning to do some experiments using thick porcelain slabs (~1kg each) as a standardised proxy for flint in Stone Age tool production. I was wondering whether there are any potters on this forum interested in taking this on as a commission? I am hoping to have around 150 of these slabs ready by the end of the next summer. I'm based in Cambridge, but open to collaborations further afield! I have detailed instructions from people who have done the same thing, which I can send over If people are interested. Many thanks, Finn
