Description: | A flat, thin flake fragment of grey brown, grey and cream marbled flint.The ragged edge has been emphasized with semi-abrupt retouch. This makes a point with the adjacent oblique semi-abruptly worked margin. Perhaps this is backing as a finger guide. The rest of that margin is bifacially invasively retouched but blunted so may also be backing. The other straight margin at nearly a right angle to it is bifacially worked and slightly sharp. This unusual tool may be a backed knife. Mercer(1981) illustrates a bifacially worked knife on page 139, fig 61, L178.
