Description: | Possible backed blade made on a fragment of a earlier larger tool (probably Neolithic). The ventral face has been invasively retouched along the left margin which cuts into the left margin of the proximal end. There is a small notch in the centre of the right margin. Retouch on the left margin works onto the distal end giving a convexed edge. On the dorsal face, the area that has not been retouched has a polished surface. This occurred when the flint was used as an earlier tool. The left margin forms the distal end of the old tool. It has subsequently been retouched along the steep face of the edge. There is abrupt backing retouch around the distal end and right margin. The proximal end has been snapped. The flint is brown/ grey with white fleks.Bond (2004) illustrates a similar example on page 152, Fig 5.136, F141 which dates to the Bronze Age.
