Description: | This is a piece of dark grey, almost black, nodular flint with tertiary cortex at the proximal end. There are clearly visible ripples on the ventral face and some light use wear on the left dorsal margin. The right dorsal margin has been snapped from distal to central area and there is some use wear from the central to proximal margin. There is no obvious retouch anywhere on the piece. It is probably a waste flake which was used as a blade or knife. It is probably dated to the Later Neolithic.Bond 2004 illustrates a similar piece on Page 135 Fig 5.121 No F5 which he calls a knife with one blunt edge placed in the Neolithic.
