     This later type fishtail biface was broken more than midway to the hafting end that might suggest it was damaged from use. Its color is described as typical for the more recent fishtail bifaces that were made from a lighter colored chert that is described as caramel or light brown. This biface also has a classic v-shaped fishtail and fine edge pressure flaking that produced micro serrations. This broken biface measures approximately 3 1/8 inches (7.9 cm) long.

Broken later type fishtail biface from Predynastic period.
