Description: | A quartered thick flake fragment of translucent brown flint with opaque cream inclusions.The break facets are at 90 degrees to the flake outer surfaces and one of the 2 facets has abrasion flake scars into the facet from both upper and lower edges. The other facet has no visible damage. It could be that the blunted facet was used alternately as a scraper or that the facet was blunted so that it could be held whilst the sharp facet was used for a light scraping duty that did not leave visible marks. Butler(2005) describes 'utilised and retouched flakes or blades' on page 134.
