Description: | Irregular shaped piece of light brown flint with 50% cortex remaining on the dorsal face, this appears to be a secondary preparation flake from the side of a core. The proximal edge is flat, which implies that it was part of a striking platform. The dorsal face proximal end is irregular in surface and texture terminating at the medial where the cortex material takes over. The cortex although looking rough in texture is smooth to the touch and is probably beach material. The notch is a natural feature on the right margin, no indication of any retouch along the edges of the piece. The ventral face is smooth to the touch but damaged at the proximal end of the face, there is a prominent bulb of percussion present, with some slight negative scarring below the medial of the face. The image shows the ventral side of the artefact and NOT the dorsal face.
