The distal end is oblique and abrupt, not a break, but just the other end of the core. The left edge presents a deep notch with lateral retouch, which is continued up to the medial part of the lateral edge. The right edge has a retouch at the proximal part. Ridge blades were preferred for tools designed for rather heavy duties: their triangular shape is much more resistant than flat blades Raw-material: marbled gray patinated flint Preservation: very well, no modern damages Origin, Site: a famous Gravettian site near the Dordogne valley, Dept.
