A flint core or thick core rejuvenation flake produced in the process of blade manufacture. Discoidal in shape with a very small area of cortex remaining. There are three striking platforms one of which has a large negative concavity from a large flake removal, possible removal of an additional rejuvenation flake. Some evidence of platform preparation is visible. Multiple narrow blade removal scars are visible on one face and larger broader flake removal scars can be seen on the opposing face.
