Description: | A thin soft hammer struck translucent brown flint blade with the distal end truncated straight. The small platform has been abraded and a small stepped flake removed. The dorsal ridges are wavy and the flake scars are from the same platform. The sharp left margin is semi-abruptly retouched through spreading cream patina as though it has been harvested from a waste flint scatter for an expedient task. Mercer(1981) illustrates a truncated blade on page 143, fig 63, L194.
