Description: | Rectangular piece of light grey coloured flint. The dorsal face exhibits a single medial ridge running between the proximal and distal edges. The proximal edge appears flat and may have been part of a core striking platform, while the distal edge appears straight and may have been broken or snapped off. The right margin appears to exhibit some retouch along its upper edge, which could be looked on as a scraper edge. The left margin also appears to have been subject to retouch along its upper area, this appears to be too steep for a blade and more in line with a scraper edge. The ventral face is smooth in appearance and exhibits a large bulb of percussion against the proximal edge. The break in the distal edge is more pronounced and implies that this tool was larger when manufactured. Possibly a serrated blade then converted.
