Description: | The knife is sub-rectangular in shape. The ventral face has clear ripples, but has been snapped off above the bulb. The distal has a long hinge fracture. The dorsal face has been flaked from the left margin, possibly to allow hafting. The right margin has been serrated from use wear, with no sign of retouch on its naturally sharp edge. This is a knife made upon a flake. Its colour is dark brown to black with a translucent edge. There is only tertiary cortex, but it is probably derived from a local beach pebble.Bond 2004 illustrates a similar piece on Page 113 Fig 5.97 No 30 which he calls a backed and truncated flake and it is placed in the Later Mesolithic.
