Description: | The medial segment of a thin flake or blade of translucent brown flint with slight internal cracking as though it has been heated. The oblique truncations have been abraded, taking advantage of this property to blunt the edges. There are 2 divergent dorsal ridges and blunting of the short blade margin. The longer lateral margin is left sharp and there is a nearby small patch of use gloss. It looks like a small hafted tool like a petit tranchet arrowhead but the repetitive use implied by the gloss suggests something like a chisel. Bond(2004) illustrates a petit tranchet on page 124, fig 5.108, a.
