Description: | This is a notched flake, almost rectangular in shape, with a serrated distal edge. The ventral face has a bulbal scar and visible ripples. The retouch on the distal end has been made from this face. The notch has been retouched from the dorsal face. The piece is lightly abraded.The flint is light to dark grey in colour with tertiary cortex and is of unknown origin, but it is probably from a local beach pebble.Butler illustrates similar pieces on Page 169 Fig 71 No 5 which he calls a combination tool and dates to the Neolithic to early Bronze Age.
