Description: | Flint multi-platformed flake, ovoid in plan and almond shaped in section. The dorsal side has a glossy sheen, the left margin has been retouched and the right margin finely serrated. The proximal end is possibly fractured and the distal end snapped. On the ventral side the right margin is finely serrated and the upper left distal end retouched. It may have been used as a scraper and awl tool. It is translucent pale grey brown in colour.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 87, Fig. 31, F. 8 which is dated to the Mesolithic period.
