Description: | A grey and cream mottled flint crested blade from a lightly rolled pebble, judging by the remaining cortex on the distal end. There is a natural frost (thermal) spalled surface on the left dorsal margin.The right medial margin is invasively retouched and the opposite ventral surface has been thinned to a comfortable notch. The stout triangular section suggests that the retouch was for some sort of side-scraper after thoughtfully and boldly reworking a piece of debitage retaining good skill levels. The re-use may have been near contemporary with the discard of the core waste.Butler(2005) illustrates a crested blade on page 120, fig.47, 8.
