Description: | The ventral face has no retouch. the dorsal face has two interlocking flattened ridges, from which long flakes ahev been removed. That to the right creates an edge with shallow serrations from use wear. The left margin has been denticulated by short abrupt retouch from the dorsal face. The distal end dips to a sharp edge and the proximal end has been truncated. The concavity at the distal end accommodates an index finger, while the thumb sits on the truncated proximal end. The left hand works equally comfortably to use the serrated right margin. The flint is white to light grey with tertiary cortex, but was probably derived from a local beach pebble.Bond 2004 illustrates a similar piece on Page 137. Fig 5.124. No 25, which he places in the neolithic period.
