Description: | This truncated blade has a medial ridge with flake removals towards both margins on the dorsal face. The left margin has denticulated notches formed by abrupt abrupt retouch from the dorsal face. The right margin has a wider notch formed by abrupt retouch from the ventral face. The proximal bulb is visible. The distal end has been truncated. There is some retouch on the dorsal face at the proximal end, directly behind the bulbal scar, possibly for hafting.It has been made on a dark grey flint with white or light grey and cream flecks, possibly derived from a local beach pebble, but with only tertiary cortex.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar piece on P 131, Fig 55. No 4, which he places in the later Neolithic.
