Description: | A short, thick flake fragment of burnt, altered grey brown flint.The dorsal and ventral surfaces are crazed and a group of spall cavities has made a finger hold for use of a flaked abrupt scraper on one edge. It has a lustrous quality confirming retouch after the flake was burnt and likely harvesting for its finger hold. Butler(2005) describes utilised expedient tools on page 134. It is one of many re-used burnt flint tools of this type from West Penwith.
