Description: | A microlithic blade. The ventral face has no retouch. The dorsal face has a medial ridge from distal to proximal with semi-abrupt flakes removed to create two sharp margins with another slither removed at the right margin. Retouch at the distal end may have been preparation for hafting.The flint is light grey with darker patches and is probably derived from a local beach pebble, but has no visible cortex.Berridge 1986 illustrates a similar piece on Page 14 No 13 which is placed in the Late Mesolithic.
