Description: | Small edged flint flake which has snapped at proximal end. On the right hand margin dorsal side there is a small, probably incipient, notch. This edge has also been trimmed or retouched. There is a natural flat, slightly concave area on dorsal face along the left hand edge which seems to provide a finger hold for using the flake. No cortex remains.The flint is light yellowy grey in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 131, Fig.57, No.L114 which is dated to the Neolithic.
