    This point was collected on the Mousterian type site of Le Moustier in southwestern France on the Vezere River. It was made from a flake that was struck from a Levallois core. Most of the bulb-of-percussion is still intact. The only additional shaping to the flake, after it was removed from the core, was some minor edge trimming. This point dates to sometime between 120,000 and 75,000 years ago.
