Description: | Transversal Burin. Greyish brown with buff cortex where left. No. 4, H. Class 19c.
Unique specimen of an oblique 'transversal burin'. The flake removed by the 'coup de burin' runs in an oblique transversal direction across the tip of the blade. Prior to its being removed, the top part of one of the lateral edges was prepared by trimming on its upper face. It is also interesting to note that the tip of the tool, which is the working end, was strengthened by a very slight retouch (or blunting) on the inverse (flat) face. The tip shows slight traces of utilization.
