Description: | Plano-convex knife with invasive retouch almost covering the total area of dorsal side, with a small area of cortex left. This retouch occurs right up to the cortex. Fine retouch on left hand edge which can be described as serration. Coarser retouch on right hand lower edge. This retouch is all round the flint, which may have been a much longer piece before the snap which is visible at the proximal end.The flint is a darkish grey colour with cream inclusions and is derived from nodular flint, non beach cortex.Bond [2004] illustrates a similar example on page 145, Fig 5.131, no.26 which is dated to the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age.
