Two larger opposed smooth sides bear the worn scars from the removal of large flakes by angled hard hammer strike. These shallow drafts recur along a broad flat surface where the two sides meet, which is deemed reworking of an originally larger broken implement. More conspicuous conchoidal fracture sites appear in the main to have arisen from edge-on impacts, some possibly adventitious.
