Description: | A thin blade of dark brown flint with two slightly convergent dorsal ridges running from the proximal end and a more complex pattern near the distal end. The proximal end has been removed with a straight truncation and the distal has been trimmed with bold semi-abrupt edgework. The left ventral margin has discontinuous groups of semi-abrupt and invasive flakework and some of this occurs on the dorsal side of that edge, perhaps to straighten or sharpen the cutting edge. This piece seems to be a fairly informal plano-convex knife. Butler(2005) illustrates some more developed examples on page 171, fig.72,5-8.
