Description: | Medium grey in colour, the material appears to more of a chert rather than the finer flint. The dorsal face plano convex in profile, and appears to exhibit two notches in its face. The smaller notch on the right margin, with the appearance of a larger notch on the left margin. The notch on the left margin may have had some retouch on the interior wall. The protrusion from the medial of the left margin appears to be blunt but rounded on its edges separating the lower notch from a blade like edge which then continues around the distal edge stopping only when it reached the smaller notch on the right margin. There is some cortex on the proximal edge which has thickened the walls of the piece, possibly implying this is where to hold or haft it without being cut. The ventral face is smooth in appearance but rough in texture due to the quality of the material.
