Description: | Notched flint flake with worked notch on the upper left hand side, dorsal view. There is also another, incipient, notch lower on the same edge. The flake has a hinge fracture at the distal and signs of fracturing at the proximal. There are signs of possible trimming of the right hand edge through use, viewed from the ventral side. There are remains of the cortex on the right hand side which acts as backing for using the tool.The flint is of a translucent midgrey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 186, Fig 76, No.6 which is dated to the late Neolithic.
