Description: | Trimmed and edged flake with signs of gloss from use wear at distal end, viewed from dorsal face. The trimmed edge is left hand margin, dorsal view. There is abrasion on right hand margin, dorsal view, possibly result of damage. It is likely that the incipient notch in this area was the result of this abrasion/ accidental damage. A little cortex remains on the right hand margin of the flake.The flint is light grey in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 143, fig.63, No.L206 which is dated to the Neolithic.
