Description: | This is a truncated blade, snapped at both ends. the ventral face has part of the bulbal scar, but no retouch. The dorsal face ha sa ridge running to alternate corners, flattened in the distal area. From this a long flake has been removed to create a sharp right margin. Semi-abrupt scaled retouch from the flattened ridge creates a sharp left margin. The flattened area from proximal to medial dorsal face would allow for hafting. The flint is cream with a brown vein running through it, has only tertiary cortex, but was probably derived froma local beach pebble.Butler 2005 illustrates a similar blade on P. 115. Fig 46. No 7 which he places in the Mesolithic era.
