Description: | The ventral face shows ripples from the bulb at the proximal end. The dorsal face has a flattened medial ridge and margins sharpened by semi-abrupt flaking. The distal end is also sharp.The piece is made from translucent smokey chert with brown flecks; its tertiary cortex is not enough to suggest its origin.Mercer 1981 illustrates a similar piece on Page 143 Fig 63 No L200 which he calls a truncated flake and places in the early Neolithic.
