Description: | Flint blade, probably damaged by accident resulting in a notch upper right margin as viewed from dorsal face. There are further signs of retouch on the same right hand margin , dorsal face. In profile the sides of the flake are nearly parallel. There is no sign of remaining cortex and the bulb of percussion is still evident as viewed from ventral face.The flint is a medium grey/brown colour and is likely derived from nodular flint.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 131, fig. 57, No. L117 which is dated from the Neolithic.
