Description: | A thick triangular cross-section flake, struck transversely across the edge of a large core platform. The flint is dark grey with cream blue patination. This may have been an unusually large Mesolithic or Early Neolithic core rejuvenation flake. Much later this waste flint has been harvested and retouched through the patina. There is an abruptly worked oblique end scraper, a large invasive flake removed from the mesal left margin and the proximal end has also been utilised. The dorsal right proximal margin has had bold flakes removed and the opposite ventral margin is shallowly and invasively retouched with associated use gloss. Bond(2004) illustrates a utilised flake on page 151, fig 5.135, L125.
