Description: | A short, thin and flat flake of cream filled transparent brown flint. The striking platform was struck twice leaving 2 bulbs of percussion on the ventral surface.There is an oblique distal truncation and this seems to have been damage sustained after manufacture as it goes through the invasively edged left dorsal margin. This work has been finished with semi-abrupt retouch where necessary to straighten the edge. Some semi-abrupt retouch on the distal end of the right margin is also seemingly broken through by the distal break. The tool may have been a sharp scraper or knife or a combination tool on the back. Butler(2005) illustrates a semi- invasively worked scraper on page 166, fig 70, 4.
