Palaeolithic stone dagger
A bifacially flaked finely worked spear or dagger. The tip is broken off and missing and the butt end has a truncation. The butt end is probably the proximal end of the original thick flake on which the tool is made. The tool has a pinkish-brown colour to it. An old label is glued to the dorsal surface close to the butt which reads: Wadijen E1: 200M Thebes 1905
