This repository contains the code and markdown document (with supporting files) for a paper published in PLOS One on the role of the Herztian cone in flake formation. We show that a newly defined angle (PSIA) matches very well with the Herztian cone angle. We argue that this angle along with the EPA and the platform geometry are likely important determinants in flake size.
The rMarkdown document (PSIA Manuscript.Rmd) is the paper itself and when knitted in R (with the associated files included here) will produce a PDF of the paper. Included here is also a markdown version of the paper which can be viewed on GitHub.
