This is a broken "working end" of a very finely crafted

Fish Tail biface. This Fishtail biface has the distinctive V

shaped blade that is representative of a later style (A.J.

Arkell 1975 p.46). This form may still have been in use

well into the early Dynastic period and for some time

after Gerzean knives were being made. This example

measures 3 3/8 inches (8.6cm) long, 2 inches (5.1cm)

wide and slightly over 3/16 of an inch (6mm) thick.
