Description: | The ventral face has a visible bulb and ripples. The long distal margin has abrupt retouch from the ventral face, which has created a denticulated edge. The dorsal face has a flattened, low angle flake removal across the proximal to distal direction. The left distal margin has abrupt and semi-abrupt retouch, again creating a denticulated edge. The thicker right margin has been snapped and could have been prepared for hafting. The piece is quite abraded.The piece is made from grey -brown flint with cream flecks. It has only tertiary cortex so its origin is uncertain, but it is likely to have been made from a local beach pebble.Bond 2004 illustrates a similar saw on Page 143 Fig 5.129 No 149, which he dates to the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age.
