Description: | A broad hard hammer struck flake of grey flint with cream flecks.The dorsal surface has the ridges of feathered flake scars. The left margin has a line of abrupt fine retouch and also on the distal end. These may be scraper edges but they look like blunting for finger holds so that the opposite margin can be used for cutting. Butler(2005) describes expedient tools with this kind of retouch on page 134 and Mercer(1981) illustrates 'edge trimmed flakes ' on page 129, fig L95-L107.
