Description: | Flint blade, quadrilateral in plan, lozenge shaped in profile and triangular in section. The blade has been unifacially retouched on the left and right margins of the dorsal side. The ventral side has conchoidal ripples. The proximal and distal ends have been snapped off. There is evidence of re-patination. The cortex is 1-0%.The colour is translucent mid grey with cream flecks and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 115, Fig. 46, No. 7 which is dated from the Mesolithic period.
