It measures 44.89mm in length, 30.32mm in width, 5.63mm in thickness, and 8.38g in weight.2) An unpatinated short flake struck from a pale brown flint. It has a prominent striking platform and bulb of percussion, irregular flake scars on the dorsal face, and a crude notch with possible abrupt and scaled retoucn on one edge. This flake measures 36.73mm in length, 23.08mm in width, 7.08mm in thickness, and 5.70g in weight.3) An unpatinated short flake struck from a dark grey flint.
