Description: | Flint blade or bladelet, sub-rectangular in plan, convex-concave in profile and bi-convex in section. On the dorsal face fine retouch can be seen on either side of the distal point. Both margins are sharp (and fine retouch can be seen on the ventral face). The proximal end retains cortex. There is gloss on the ventral face. It is considered to be a bladelet, although the distal point also suggests it may have been a microburin. The flint is grey with pale mottling and patination. There is secondary cortex and it is likely to have derived from a local beach pebble.Bond shows a similar example on page 108, Figure 5.92, Number 150.
