Description

This specimen exhibits a distinctive lanceolate to triangular morphology, characterized by a broad, thick profile and an elliptical cross-sectional shape. The blade itself is marked by a pronounced excurvate curvature, which may transition into a parallel orientation as it approaches the shoulder region. The shoulders are predominantly horizontal in orientation, although some variability is observed, with occasional instances of slight barbing or a subtle upward inclination. The stem is notable for its expanding form, terminating in a bifurcated base with rounded basal corners that evoke a lobed appearance. The flaking pattern observed on this point is random, lacking a discernible order or sequence.
