Complete rough out. The cross section of the blade is rectangular but the bevel is asymmetrical. The surface is flaked. There is very minor differentiation between the butt and the blade as the front and the back taper in towards the poll. The blade is very flaked and demarcated by a ridge of this flaking. The cutting edge is triangular and blunt with flaking all along the edge.
