| Description | Notch towards base; truncated obliquely by flat back retouch on same side forming point. Whole implement from which, by giving an oblique blow at the notch, a trapezoid and a mcirolithic burin would result; evidently not utilized for this purpose because of cortex remaining along base and notch, which would give a poor striking surface. |
