Description

Edges are parallel and both appear to be straight. They meet at proximal end of flake in rough arc. Cortex remains on approx. one-half of dorsal surface. Flakes are driven off from proximal end and have removed part of cortex from dorsal surface. There is small amount of retouch on distal end of flake, which has been broken. Broken transversally to longitudinal axis of the flake, so that less than one-half of flake remains.
