Description: | Elongated piece of flint, greeny grey in colour with light grey inclusions. The piece has been removed from a pebble core, probably originated from a local beach . Cortex remains on the dorsal face at the distal edge, the cortex is smooth in texture and about 1 mm in thickness. There is a medial ridge from the proximal edge terminating at the cortex edge below the distal. The right margin exhibits retouch above the medial, which has produced a notch. The left margin appears to also exhibit some retouch along its edge more in keeping with a side scraper edge rather than a blade. The proximal edge is a blunt point. The ventral face while uneven in appearance in smooth in texture, no obvious indication of retouch along its edge. Bulb of percussion is present with a hint of conchoidal rippling in the surface. Notched tool ?
