Description: | Flint flake which is a possible arrowhead, leaf shaped. Retouch has been used to form a point towards the proximal end. As this has been evenly worked there is also the possiblity that it was an awl. There is a very small natural notch on the lower left hand margin, dorsal side, and there are signs of chipping at the distal end seen on upper right edge, dorsal and upper left ventral. It was probably an attempt at a leafshaped arrowhead.The flint is of a uniform mid grey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 128, fig 55, No.L89 which is dated to the middle Neolithic.
