Description: | Flint flake with edged notch on lower right hand edge, dorsal view, which shows signs of gloss through wear. Another notch at lower left hand edge, dorsal view, is natural with no signs of use. The notch with use gloss could have been used for cutting thin thread or twine. It is a crude piece of flint with no obvious signs of use or retouch except for the possible use of this notch. The proximal end, opposite the edged notch, has the remains of the bulb of percussion. No cortex remains, nor are there any signs of heating/burning.The flint is of a light grey/cream colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer[1981] illustrates a similar example on page 127, Fig.55, No.L.94 which is dated to the middle Neolithic.
