Description: | Flint flake which has had working on upper edge of dorsal face and this has made use of the pointed end to turn the flake into a graver. The point is a natural feature of the struck flake but retouch at this edge has made a notch making the point more effective. There is also use wear on this part of the flake. The left hand margin has not been worked, but there is a snap at lower edge on this margin. There is natural abrasion at proximal end. A considerable amount of cortex remains on dorsal side.The flint is of a light grey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 169, Fig.71, No5 which is dated to the late Neolithic.
