The edges have been unifacially retouched save for the lower left margin and part of the proximal end. On the ventral side the surface has a high lustre and a central heat blistered pitted cavity. There is impact fracture damage by the proximal end with some retouch scarring on the lower right margin.The flint is dark russet brown in tone with a secondary cortex of dark beige colouring.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 132, Fig. 5.118, No. F. 5 which is dated to the Neolithic period.
