Description: | A cortical flake from which the proximal end with bulb of percussion has been removed by a single blow.The semi circular plan has been completed by removal of large semi invasive flakes to give a shallow 45 degree cutting edge. This might suggest more knife-like duties but there is a short length of undercut abrasion,seen when looking at the ventral surface scraper edge so at least some scraping may have been practised against bone or other hard material.The flint is dark brown and translucent like from the nearest nodular source neer Beer in Devon but this biece has pebble cortex. Butler,2005 shows an end scraper on a broken flake on p.126, fig.50, No.1.
