Description: | A translucent dark pink/brown piece of chert, rough in texture. The dorsal face has a prominent central peak wtih ridges eminating to various parts of the face. The distal edge left side more more prominent, projecting out from the rest of the edge, it also appears to have been retouched along the right side, the distal edge to the medial on the right side appears to have also been retouched. With the actual ight side of the distal also projects out as a point, which then follows directly on to the right margin. The right margin appears to have undergone some retouch along the edge until reaching the proximal edge, this appears broken (proximal), with some hint of retouch on the left side of the edge. The left margin is sharp and blade like in appearance, with what appears to be some hints of retouch at the medial. The ventral face is smooth, with some remains of the bulb of percussion on the surface. Possible reotuch around the distal edge where he point projects out from the rest of the edge. The proximal edge is smooth implying an old detachment from the main piece (if it had been recent, the edges would appear sharper). The right margin distal, possible retouch on the projecting point.
