Description: | Small elongated piece of mid grey coloured flint with cream circular speckles. The dorsal face is flat in the middle with two slight ridges on either side, the right margin exhibits a single concave depression within its face which appears to be a notch, the area around the notch appears to exhibit retouch around the edges. The proximal edge terminates as a shallow point, with both sides angled at about 20 degrees. The left margin is uneven and does not exhibit any obvious signs of retouch. The distal edge appears straight in plan, but curved when looking at the edge, could be as result of removal from a core producing a hinged fracture. The ventral face is smooth in appearance and texture, some remains of the bulb of percussion and appears to be some gloss at the proximal edge. Conchoidal rippling present within the surface of the material. Butler, Page 115, Fig 46, No. 1. Notched Flake ?
