Description
This is an arrowhead microlith, crafted from quartz. Quartz is one of the key materials found in the Deccan Trap region, which is known for its rich chalcedony deposits. This flake tool features sharp edges with visible flaking on one side, while the reverse side remains plain, characteristic of highly weathered microliths.
