Elongated pebble with irregular but largely sub-rectangular cross-section. All surfaces are apparently worn, one particularly so where a dished area occurs along part of one edge - the remainder is of a length which would fit into the hand. The wear is consistent with the sharpening of a small balde such as a scalpel. This would have been facilitated more evenly if the stone was held in the right hand, suggesting that the object may have been used by a left-handed person.
