At the proximal end is a wide striking platform and a well defined bulb of percussion. There are widely spaced, shallow waves of percussion along the ventral face. There are several flake removals along the length of the dorsal face and some have more marked waves of percussion compared to the ventral face. Viewed from the dorsal face, the left side of the flake has been extensively retouched to make two notches and a section of scraping edge. The two notches have resulted in two projections, possibly for use as awls or borers.The flake is 34.6mm long, 25.9 wide, 4.8mm thick and weighs 4.97 grams.
