The piece appears to exhibit conchoidal ripples on both sides. The dorsal face is two tones in colour, dark grey on the right and mid grey on the left , the mid grey containing the cream inclusions. The distal edge appears to have been subject to retouch along its full length, as does the left margin and upper areas of the proximal edge. The retouch along the left margin is irregular, but gives the impression of a serrated blade. Although the thickness of the piece would suggest more a side scraper. Closer examination of the proximal edge shows some abrasion on the right sides, although slight, a negative scar emanates form the bottom right corner of the face cutting across the dorsal face stopping before the medial. Ventral face exhibits the two tone colouring and some cortex, no obvious retouch on any of the edges. Possible composite tool...
