Description
Very large, thick spearhead shaped tool. could have measured almost a hands-width across when it was whole or larger. Only the top of the tool remains with the tip broken off. No bevel to the edges nor are there signs of grinding. The flakes taken from this piece were very large, perhaps denoting the use of a hammerstone to knap the tool as well as that this was probably hastily made to accomadate a pressing need for a cutting edge.
Dimensions: 6.8 cm;1.3 cm;8.9 cm;;;423;;
