Description: | Flint edged flake with bifacial working; may have been a potential projectile with undevelped tang. This appears as a notch, giving the flake an almost waisted appearance. Could be described as a combination tool, scraper with notch. There is also the possibility of being an awl.The flint is dark brown in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 169, fig 71, No. 5 which is dated to the late neolithic.
