Description: | Large piece of mottled light grey flint, cortex remaining on about 30% of the surface. Appears to have two striking platforms. Negative scars run parallel, implying production of narrow flakes and blades. There is a step fracture top to medial, no conchoidal ripple present. Some gloss in the area of one of the negative scars. The base appears to have been abruptly retouch, possible later use as a scraper. The cortex is rough and pitted consistant with beach pebble. Possible pressure flaking ?
