Description: | Semi abrupt retouch from a medial ridge on the dorsal face has created two sharp edges. The medial ridge has been flattened at the proximal end and further abrupt retouch on the dorsal face has blunted the proximal end. The bulb is clearly visible at the proximal end of the ventral face. Abrupt retouch beside the seconday cortex blunts the complete distal end. There is no sign of use wear. The tool has been made from dark grey flint with white speckles, which was probably a beach pebble.Bond illustrates a similar blade on P 108 Fig 5.92 No 149 which he dates to the Mesolithic period.
