Description: | The ventral face shows clearly the bulb of percussion and ripples. Its left margin and shoulder have been trimmed and flaked with abrupt and semi-abrupt removals. The dorsal face is hollow with a medial ridge from which flaked areas slope towards the right margin and the hollowed central platform has ripples of percussion. The piece shows signs of burning or heating and is abaraded. The red tip is the result of being stored in a box and the flint has absorbed the printer's ink.The flint is light grey to brown with white flecks inclusions and has only teriary cortex but is probabaly of beach pebble origin.Mercer 1981 illustrates a similar piece on Page 131 Fig 57 No L110, which he calls an edge trimmed flake and places in the Neolithic.
