The Levallois Technique

From Wikipedia. Note that the back side may show a "bulb of percussion". The front side has a few flakes removed.

Now consider this from Woods Hole. I think it was in the sand and clay below my yard and I found it in a pile of excavated dirt for the new foundation:
 It has a bulb of percussion and signs or "erraill.
 Additional back-side flakes.
 Side vide of bulb

Darn nice piece of quartz, unlike anything else in the yard.
