Description: | Translucent light to mid grey piece of flint with cream inclusions, dorsal face also exhibits some slight patination above the medial. The distal edge has a 2mm layer of cortex which terminates on the right side with the junction of the right margin but continues into the left margin and stops above the medial. The cortex appears rough in texture. The dorsal face is uneven, exhibiting a ridge on the right side, which runs parallel to the right margin, the right margin has a concave depression in the area of the medial which appears to have retouch marks around its edge. In plan the notch is not pronounced, but when placed at an angle becomes more obvious. The ventral face is uneven, a prominent bulb of percussion appears present with conchoidal ripples in the face, some retouch at the medial of the right margin may be an attempt to back the piece. Hint of retouch on the left margin medial area. The proximal edge is flat and appears consistent in appearance of the remains of a core striking platform. Butler 131, 55, 5
