Description: | A short flake of translucent grey flint with opaque cream inclusions, struck with a hard hammer from the cortex. The dorsal surface carries oblique hinged and feathered flake scars. The distal end has been abruptly retouched obliquely to a finger guide when using the sharp straight margin as a cutting edge. The edge was resharpened with a semi-abrupt serration. Mercer(1981) illustrates an edged flake on page 143, fig 63, L203.
