One arise, cortex to the left of the arise, blade on the right with a direct retouched notch halfway down, inverse retouch down the rest of the blade. Off white patina with blue mottling, there is no patina on the retouch therefore this blade was reused. 2, Notched blade, pronounced bulb on the ventral.
