Description: | 2 tertiary waste flakes. Elongate flakes, both of mid grey-brown with occasional off-white patches and a mid gloss patina. Both flakes have some recent edge damage. Both flakes are indicative of blade production.
The first flake has a small striking platform and a bulb of percussion with a bulbar scar. There are prominent waves of percussion on the ventral face. There are several flaking scars on the dorsal surface. The distal end is wider than the proxmal end and appears to be broken.
The second flake has had the proximal end snapped off. It has several elongate flaking scars on the dorsal face. The cross section is trapeziodal at the distal end and triangular at the proximal.
