Description: | Notched blade. The piece is created on nodular flint which is dark grey in colour. The ventral face contains a notch in the right lateral edge at the distal end. The bulb of percussion and platform are still present. Platform preparation can be seen at the proximal end of the dorsal face. A flake has been removed from the platform face on the left lateral edge and then retouched to create a notch. The distal end contains minor retouch. A secondary amount of cortex remains on the left lateral edge running from the proximal end to the notch.Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar example on page 129, Fig 56, L99 which dates to the Neolithic period.
