Description

Yellowish fine grained rock with concoidal fracture (chert or volcanic origin). Both edges appear straight and slightly convergent, meeting in a rounded end. Small flake removals cover the entire dorsal surface. One edge has steeper retouch than the other. Broken transverally to the longitudinal axis of the flake so that less than one-half of the artifact remains.
