Description: | A core rejuvenation flake struck obliquely to remove the flaking face of an opposed platform blade and flake core. The flint is a lustrous nearly translucent brown flint with opaque cream inclusions and may have been heated to improve its flaking qualities. It has then been used for its handy sides and sharp margins with fine abrupt and semi-invasive retouch worked for different tasks. Butler(2005) illustrates a flanc de nucleus of this type on page 87, fig 31, 9.
