Description: | A plano convex knife on a thin, curved profile dark grey brown translucent flint blade with cream flecks and grey cloudy inclusions. The proximal end has been removed and finished with abrupt blunting retouch. This becomes semi- invasive and invasive as it continues up the straight right margin to the pointed tip.The same margin is invasively worked to a biface on the ventral side. The dorsal surface has 3 long convergent scars on its surface from previous blade removals. The curved left margin has discontinuous semi invasive removals from the dorsal surface. Mercer(1981) illustrates a similar tool on page 141, fig 62, L182.
