content: Luster: Dull Element: Lateral fragment Alteration: Heat Edge Modification: Bifacial retouching and secondary retouching Manufacturing Notes: Can tell very little Residue: Tenacious maybe resinous brown residue. Comments: Badly heat fractured piece with resin or by products of burning present on the surface. This is from a large biface, but how large is indefinable because the piece is small. Length measurement is equal to the maximum axial dimension and coincides with the maximum length of bifacially worked edge. Part 1 of 6
