Dark grey flint with cortex strip, scraper. A thick oval chunk with broad flakes struck from its dorsal side by multangular hard hammer strike, trimming most cortex. The underside is unevenly broken. Misty patina has formed over all struck surfaces, suggesting the object has subsequently endured a period of exposure to a calcareous environment.
