Comparison of flaking of the Boxgrove percussor fragment (a–c, NHMUK PV M 103370) with flake removals on the shafts of the rhinoceros radius (d–f, NHMUK PV M 103081), and deer tibia (g–i, NHMUK PA E 7492) from Clacton. The Alicona images are oriented to show battering damage, which is well preserved in the Boxgrove example but partly covered by matrix in the rhinoceros radius; it is not possible to estimate the extent of damage to the tibia because weathering has removed the outer surface of the cortical bone in the critical areas.
