Description

Crescent-shaped flaked stone blade made from a translucent orange-tan siliceous material with subtle banding. Bifacial knapping produced overlapping pressure-flake scars across the faces and a gently concave cutting edge between two winged tips. Smooth, glossy surfaces and distinct flake negatives emphasize the knapping technique and natural translucency.Keywords: lithic artifact, crescent blade, butterfly-shaped blade, flaked stone, bifacial knapping, knapped blade, siliceous stone, orange-tan, pressure-flaked, stone artifact
