Description: | This microlith has sharp edges by flaking at semi-abrupt angle from a flattened medial ridge. The ventral face has semi-abrupt retouch to sharpen it and a slight notch, which might be the result of use wear. Abrupt retouch at the distal end creates a shoulder towards a point. The proximal end has been truncated by abrupt retouch.It is made from a clerical grey flint and is translucent at the margins, with tertiary cortex and was probably from a local beach pebble.Butler 2005 illustrates a similar piece on Page 101 Fig 39 No 13 asa four sided piece from the Mesolithic era.
