Description: | Ovoid shaped piece of translucent light grey flint with some cortex remaining on the distal edge. The side described is per the image, which is the ventral face, there is a bulb of percussion present with a spall missing from the centre of the bulb, the right margin appears to have been subject to retouch along its edge from just above the proximal edge. The distal edge is comprised of cortex material, which is reddish in colour on the outer skin but cream ion the inside. The left margin is concave in appearance, the proximal edge is flat and could be mistaken for being part of a striking platform. The dorsal face is smooth in appearance with the exception of an oval depression in the proximal end of the face, which appears typical of flint being subjected to intense heat. No indication of retouch on the side of the piece.
