content: Style: Preform Luster: Waxy Shape/Form: Triangular Edge Modification: Fine bifacial thinning and fine second bifacial retouch. Alteration: Chemical Manufacturing Notes: Well controlled bifacial thinning. Has a a wide sort of bit edge, very gently convex in shape. Residue: Faint white on wider edge (working edge if this is a celt). Use Trace: Brittle raw material & it shattered on the narrower end either in the course of manufacture or possibly use. Piece is conisderably polished on ridges and at wider end. Comments: Could also be a triangular, very wide based, point. Intuition says no, that the working edge was meant to be the wider one. There is faint chemical patination as though from heat or weathering.
