Description: | Rectangular piece of translucent brown coloured flint. The dorsal face of the flint appears glossy and smooth to the touch. The proximal edge appears to have some trace of cortex material, not enough to identify the source. The right margin appears to have been subject to retouch, what appears to be micro denticulates appear along the length of the margin, which terminates at the distal edge which is straight and appears to have been broken or snapped off. The left margin is blade like in appearance but very small and brittle in appearance. The ventral face is smooth in appearance with conchoidal ripples present throughout the face, a bulb of percussion is also present adjacent to the proximal edge. No indication of retouch from this side. Possible broken blade.
