Description: | This tool has been made on a thin flake. The notch has been made from the dorsal face just above the bulb on the right margin. There is retouch on the right distal shoulder to sharpen it and some serration which might be use wear. Cortex remains on the left dorsal marginal shoulder to the central area, below which there is retouch to the proximal end. Possibly the piece was hafted to create a knife. The flint is light brown and grey in colour with cream inclusions. Its secondary cortex suggests that it was derived from a local beach pebble.Butler 2005 illustrates a similar piece on Page 131 Fig 55 No 4, which he calls a notched flake and places in the Neolithic.
