This is an excellent example of a blade tool from the

Aurignacian stone tool industry. It was not resharpened

except for its initial trimming of both ends for scrapers

and some edge trimming along three fourths of one edge.

This blade tool would have been used for either scraping or
cutting. It was made from a good quality white chert and it

measures 4 3/4 inches (12cm) long and 1 3/16 inches (3cm)

wide.
