====Truncated blade==== There are three basic types of laminar microlith. The truncated blade type can be divided into a number of sub-types depending on the position of the truncation (for example, oblique, square or double) and according to its form, for example, concave or convex. "Raclette scrapers" are notable for their particular form, being blades or flakes whose edges have been sharply retouched until they are semicircular or even shapeless. Raclettes are indefinite cultural indicators, as they appear from the Upper Paleolithic through to the Neolithic. <gallery> Image:Hojita de Fresno de la Ribera.png|Flint blade Image:Microlame 0.225.4.jpg|Truncated bladelet Image:Microlame 0.225.1.jpg|Backed edge bladelet Image:Flechette Gavaudun 231-3 (3).jpg|Dufour bladelet </gallery>
