Description: | The medial segment of a thin flake or blade of translucent brown flint. The proximal end has been removed by a straight snap. The dorsal surface carries 2 convergent ridges. The distal end has an oblique truncation, finished with fine abrupt bladelet scars, undercut by a line of fine step fractures, This suggests scraper use; rather than blunting to haft a sharp blade segment. Butler(2005) illustrates an oblique truncation on page 111, fig 44, 15.
