   This picture shows a magnified view of a series of three

large percussion flake scars on one of the edges of this

extremely large biface. These are very large flakes. In fact,

each of these removed flakes are larger than most "normal"

size stone tools. They were removed by striking the edge

with a stone hammer. This biface was probably made

entirely with the use of a stone hammer stone.
