Description: | A flint flake with a well defined notch so could be described as a graver. There is a considerable amount of gloss from use wear on the ventral side of the flake and this extends along the right hand edge from the distal to nearly the proximal end. The notch has been worked from the ventral side. There is also trimming along the right hand edge, ventral side, which coincides with the gloss from use wear. There is natural abrasion at the proximal. No cortex remains.The flint is a medium grey in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 135, Fig.59, No.L155 which is dated to the Neolithic.
