Upper Palaeolithic flint blade
Distal end of a long blade. Proximal tip is missing but the piece is retouched into a termination. There is one recent nick on the ventral surface. The piece has a heavy white patina over the majority of the tool, except for the extreme tip on the distal end where a patch of cortex survives.
