An edge trimmed flake, grey in colour with cream mottling, which has been bi-facially retouched and expediently made.
The proximal end of the dorsal face exhibits discontinuous retouch with a low angle and is of edge extent. The same retouch is evident on the ventral face resulting in improved serration function.
Numerous grooves are present on the ventral face at the distal and right margin intersect.
