Description: | Probably an edged trimmed flake or blade, with backing resulting from the chipping through the cortex along the distal edge. This is steep, abrupt retouch. There is fine retouch on the left hand side, dorsal view. Also a rough area caused by abrasion along the proximal end. There is about 50% cortex remaining on the dorsal side. No sign of burning or heating.The flint is light grey in colour with cream inclusions and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer[1981] illustrates a similar example on page 141, Fig 62, No. L182 which is dated to the middle Neolithic.
