Description: | A grey with brown staining, eliptical shaped piece of flint with the top removed. Previously a beach pebble, the piece haa over 50% cortex remaining on the surface. Two thirds of the surface has been struck and pieces removed (appear to be bladelets). There is one primary striking platform with indications of at least two strikes at the medial from the right side of the piece.. The cortex is about 3mm in thickness, smooth in texture. There appears to be brown staining, possibely oxidisation within the removed face (possible leaching from a local source). Stepped fractures are present from the medial to the right of the striking face..
