Description: | This is a combination tool - notched knife with margins of varying sharpness. The ventral face has semi-abrupt retouch within the notch. The dorsal face has semi-abrupt retouch at the distal tip and shoulder down to the notch. The proximal margin below the notch is lightly serrated and very sharp.The flint is yellow to grey in colour with cream flecks. It has secondary cortex which suggests that it is probably from a local beach pebble.Butler P169 Fig 71 No 5 illustrates a combination tool which he dates to the later Neolithic.
