- Having small pieces or flakes broken off; made by a process of chipping: said of stone implements made of flint, jasper, obsidian, and other brittle Stones. Chipped stone implements are generally roughly shaped with a small hammer and then fashioned by chipping or flaking with a bone flaker which is pressed against the surface of the stone, small chips being taken off by pressure. The edges of stone implements are also chipped by nipping.
