Description: | A thinned fragment of translucent brown grey flint with cream flecks and inclusions. The distal end is snapped obliquely with a little blunting abrupt retouch to help grip it as it appears to have been used as an awl. Fine semi-abrupt retouch thins the pointed end and there is a little use gloss and edge wear on the opposite margin. The ventral surface has edge gloss on the opposite margin to that on the dorsal surface. Mercer(1981) illustrates an edge trimmed flake on page 143, fig 63, L 195.
