Description: | Flint blade/flake with notch and retouch turning it into a possible side scraper. Appears to be broken or damaged at proximal. It feels rough to the touch. As viewed from the dorsal face there is fine retouching at lower left hand margin; this could also be described as serrated. There is some cortex remaining at the distal end and a prominent medial ridge. Viewed from the ventral face, there is retouch at the lower right hand edge. There is a notch on the upper left hand margin as viewed from the dorsal face.The flint is of a light to medium grey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Bond [2004] illustrates a similar example [serrated flake] on page 151, fig 5.135, No. F.138 which is dated to the Neolithic.
