Description: | A flint core with opposing striking platforms, mid grey in colour with some white mottling in the centre, there is cortex remaining on the surface of the piece which is ochre in colour and smooth in texture, the cortex is consistent with material from a local beach. Evidence of blade removal from the material on both sides of the piece, while one striking platform is comprised of clean flint with a thin outer skin of cortex, the second platform is primarily cortex material and was probably the first of the two striking platforms to be made on this piece. One side of the striking face appears to have a small flaw , appears to be oxide material in the centre.
