Description: | A flake that was probably a blade before being snapped at proximal, a possible hinge fracture. Bulb of percussion has now gone. There are signs of retouch at the fracture. A notch at upper left margin as viewed from dorsal face is shaped as a hook which could have been used for cutting thread, such as wool. Another notch at lower right margin as viewed from dorsal face shows signs of working. There are signs of thinning of the flake on dorsal face, right side.Flint is brown/grey in colour and is likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 169, fig.71, No. 5 which is dated from late Neolithic.
