Description: | This is a backed blade with a medial ridge on the dorsal face from which flake shave been removed towards each margin. The left margin has tiny serrations, probably from use-wear. The right margin ha sbeen blunted in a way that looks as if the full length ha sbeen removed in one piece by pressure flaking. But ther are indications of three abrupt retouches. The distal end has abrupt retouch. The proximal end has been snapped at the bulb. The flint is light brown with white specks and was probably derived from a local beach pebble.Bond 2004 illustrates a similar piece on page 137 Fig 5.124. No L23 which he place sin the Neolithic era.
