Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Palaeolithic (Middle) to Bronze Age (Later) notch, 34mm long, 16mm wide, 5mm thick and 3.4g in weight. This notch has been made on a blade that possesses a few Levallois characteristics. The notch itself is positioned along the left lateral edge on the ventral face. The dorsal face possesses a central parallel ridge that looks to have been created on the left by centripetal flaking and on the right by the removal of a previous blade, suggesting a recurrent technique. The flint is opaque and light grey in patination.
