Description: | A wide pale grey flint flake, struck with a hard hammer from the edge of the cortex. The distal end is partly hinged with a ragged edge that has been semi-abruptly retouched on the ventral side to accentuate a point in the margin. Near the proximal end is a straight, abruptly worked scraper or blunted edge.This may have been to make the point more comfortable to hold or as a separate tool. The dorsal surface carries large truncated flake scars, (probably like this flake removal) and a little pebble cortex.Mercer(1981) illustrates edge trimmed flakes on page 131, fig 57, L112.
