Description: | This flake of dark brown flint with white/cream inclusions has tertiary cortex. It has opposing notches. possibly for hafting. There is gloss on the left distal edge and the dorsal surface. The bulbar end ha sbeen deliberately snapped off. The ventral left shoulder has semi-abrupt retouch. It has adhering flatelets, so no heavy damage. Possibly it was used for leatherwork. The dorsal face has abrupt retouch within the notch and along the rest of the right margin in both directions. The left margin has abrupt retouch from the central notch, but not within it, down to the proximal end..Butler (2005) illustates a notched flake on P.131 Fig 55 No 4, which he places in the early Neolithic.
