Description: | Truncated blade. The blade has a rectangular plan and a plano convex profile. The edges of the blade are parallel. The piece is made from pebble chert which is cream in colour and contains a secondary amount of cortex on the dorsal face. The ventral face still contains the bulb of percussion and the platform. The left and right lateral edges of the dorsal face both have minor retouch almost like 'nibbling'. The proximal end has been retouched on the left margin to form a point.Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on page 143, Fig 63, L200 which dates to the Early Neolithic.
