Description

No Original Card

Revised: Flint flake - Probably of natural origin. Elongated point. Unpatinated except for slight green-yellow and orange patina near cortex which remains on part of upper face. Small amount of retouch on one projecting edge. Shows utilization. Note: original locality given as "North France" but CC written on implement; so, from above locality. Probably from level of small flakes discovered by Commont on the Marne of Abbeville. France, Abbeville, 40 metre terrace, Carriere Carpentier. Clactonian II?
