Description: | Levallois type flake. Triangular and flattened butt formed by the medium sized striking platform. Roughly triangular cross-section, facetted reverse surface. Dorsal ridge running longitudinally the whole length. Deepish flake removed, being struck from the striking platform. Chipping on the reverse surface has removed the thick patina and given the tip end an irregular outline. More prominent on the bulbar surface, due to recent battering, is a large unpatinated flake scar. Edges not spalled. Towards the tip end there has been a very small amount of minute retouch applied. Condition weathered.
Material: Flint (Chert impure)
