Description

Brownish-gray flake is roughly point shaped. The surface of the flake is covered with light brown soil and brown spots of accretion. One end has a base worked into it, the other side is partially worked and the chips along that side reveal a darker core. There are two dark diagonal lines across the surface. The ridges on both sides of the flake exhibit wear.
