Upper Palaeolithic flint retouched blade
An abruptly-backed blade fragment . This is a broad blade fragment of 23.3 mm width, with an obliquely blunted distal end. The retouch is abrupt and marginal and brings the tool to a point with an oblique truncation. There is just one small flake removal from what is otherwise an unmodified blade edge.
