Description: | Flint flake with deliberate attenpt to angle working edge. Remains of cortex used as backing opposite the worked edge. There is finely trimmed edge - bifacially trimmed which has probably been done after that part of the flake had been worked on to produce the angle. The flake has been snapped at the proximal end. A considerable amount of cortex remains on dorsal side.The flint is a light brownish grey and is solid in colour and likely was derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 129, Fig.56, No.100 which is dated to the middle Neolithic.
