Description: | Piece of flint covered with ochreous iron staining and bearing extensive evidence of conchoidal flaking. Some areas of cortex present, one corner bears traces of battering. The implement tapers to a rounded point which appears to have been produced by the removal of scaled, semi-abrupt flakes from the dorsal face. The ventral surface is formed by a single, conchoidal fracture, although some attempt may have been made to reduce the bulb of percussion. There appear to be some traces of later damage. Lenght 142.4mm, Width 113.3mm, Thickness 45.0mm, Mass 769.8g
