Description: | Flint flake, chunky in appearance, with signs of heat damage. As viewed from dorsal side there is a possible notch on lower right edge. Heat damage possibly from being in a fire; this shows on lower left edge dorsal view where the remaining cortex has been heat damaged. There has been retouch at distal end to form an end scraper. If viewed from proximal end - end on - the piece has a chunky appearance.The flint is now of a pinkish hue due to heat damage and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler illustrates a similar example on page 169, Fig 71, No.8 which is dated to the Neolithic.
