Description: | Flint edge trimmed blade with notch at lower right hand edge, dorsal view. The notch has been made by retouching but this retouching is not bifacial, and there is further retouch above this notched area on the right hand margin. There is a section of the upper left hand edge, dorsal view, where retouch has produced a serrated edge. There is a snap at the proximal end, possibly a fracture, and the bulb of percussion is no longer visible. The distal end has been fashioned into a point, possibly a piercer/awl.The flint is dark brown/grey in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer[1981] illustrates a similar example on page 129, Fig 56, No. L97 which is dated to the middle-late Neolithic.
