Description: | An edged flint flake which has been retouched to form a knife and where the small amount of cortex remaining along the left hand edge, dorsal view, has been used as backing. There is shallow retouching, not bifacial, along the right hand edge from distal to proximal, dorsal view. A flake has been removed from the dorsal side to form a shallow hollow. There are no signs of abrasion or burning.The flint is a sandy brown, mottled colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Bond [2004] illustrates a similar example on page 145, Fig. 5.131, No. 18 which is dated to the later Neolithic.
