Description
This artifact exhibits a distinctive medium-sized ovoid form with a basal notch, characterized by an elliptical profile. The blade's curvature is pronounced, displaying an excurvate shape that tapers inward at the apex before sweeping outward toward the shoulder region. The shoulders themselves are neatly defined, giving way to a stem that maintains a straight to subtly expanding orientation. The basal edge presents a variable morphology, ranging from a straight alignment to a gentle convexity. The flaking pattern observed on this point is random, lacking a discernible sequence or organization.
