Central section of a knapped chert blade. The blade is broken at both the ventral and distal ends. At the ventral end the bulb of percussion has been removed by an irregular snap. There is a knapped notch to the right side which probably started the snap but it has not snapped evenly, creating a point down the left edge. The distal end is straight with short, scalar retouch. It is dark brown flint and is 28.7mm long, 22.8mm wide and 5.3mm thick, it weighs 3.32 grams.
