James Green<p>The same but different. The white patina on A) is natural mechanical &amp; chemical weathering of gravel chert. Archaeologists call this cortex (i.e. weathered rock exterior). B) same process, but on a flint artifact (post-modification). A lot of Paleolithic artifacts are patinated. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a></p>
