Description: | The proximal end has a pitted platform, while the semi-circular distal margin has very fine serrations on its left dorsal shoulder; the right shoulder has abrupt retouch. Both lateral short margins have slight notches to create two points. Both lateral margins have semi-abrupt retouch to sharpen them.The flint is translucent brown to black in colour. It has only tertiary cortex, so its origin is uncertain, but it is like to be from a local beach pebble.Butler 2005 illustrates a similar piece on Page 95 Fig 36 No 8 and Bond 2004 on Page 119 Fig 5.103 which they both place in the later Mesolithic.
