Description: | This is an obliquely backed point in the shape of an isosceles triangle with rounded base. The ventral face has its bulb. The dorsal face has a snapped left margin and has a semi-abrupt flaked removal to the right margin to create a sharp edge. Then ther ehas been some fine retouch to that edge. The proximal wide end has retained cortex.The flint is grey brown in colour. Its secondary non-beach cortex at the proximal end suggests a nodular origin.Butler illustrates similar pieces on Page 99 Fig 38 Nos 1-6 which he calls obluely backed points and dates to the later Mesolithic.
