Description: | A spall from heat-destroyed flint. It has been altered in colour to grey-brown. The unusual thermally produced notched concavity has attracted someone to harvest it from the hearth and use this feature as a comfortable finger hold and then put a straight and neat line of semi-abrupt retouch on an adjacent edge.This has made a thumb-nail sized scraper. Other expedient but competent pot-lid finger-hold retouched tools are known in this locality. Butler(2005) describes 'utilised and retouched flakes or blades' on page 134.
