Description: | A crested blade of translucent brown flint with spreading blue white patina. There are stepped and hinged flake scars from opposing directions. After the flake was removed to rejuvenate the core it was harvested from a flint scatter and retouched through the patina. A possibly Later Mesolithic discard was reused in perhaps The Neolithic or more recently. An oblique distal facet has been shallowly retouched as an end scraper and the left margin has been serrated from the ventral side semi-abruptly.Butler(2005) illustrates a crested blade on page 87, fig 31, 10.
