Description: | A broad flake of grey and light grey marbled flint.On the left distal margin is a little cortex from a lightly rolled pebble, perhaps from a beach close to its source in the cliff. There is a slight undercut notch in the ventral edge of this cortex. On the distal nearly feathered end there is a short line of semi-abrupt retouch.On the left proximal dorsal margin is a line of truncated scars from preparation prior to the flake removal.Without retouch; this edge has been utilised with a small gloss patch on the vemtral surface. This expedient tool is descibed by Butler(2005) on page 134 as part of a large group in the Early Neolithic and likely other times, distinguished by styles of tool blank if at all.
