A sub-trapezoid flake with a broad flake struck from its dorsal side and a low bulb at one end of its ventral surface. Short abrupt retouch executed from the dorsal aspect follows one straight edge, with the recortified opposite edge presumably retained to enable pressure to be brought to bear. A single angled scalar draft may represent trimming or flattening of the bulb on the ventral surface, and short abrupt retouch executed from the ventral aspect appears along one narrower end, though the overall impression is of a swiftly improvised tool. Suggested date: Neolithic, 4000-2350 BC
