Description: | A soft hammer struck broad flake of marbled brown and grey flint, worked on its right margin as a side scraper or graver. The dorsal surface carries flake scars including one with a hinged termination and are from the same direction as the main removal.The mesal straight section of semi-abrupt retouch is slightly serrated and is isolated by an abruptly worked notch at each end. Nodular cortex runs around the distal end and half way down the left margin, making a grip for the tool. There is a finger hold added by removing a flake from the striking platform on the proximal end.
