Description: | An exhausted core which has been retouched to use as a cutting tool, or possibly a scraper. At the proximal end is the striking platform which also looks like a break. It has been trimmed on both edges towards the distal end. There is natural damage, or abrasion at the proximal. No signs of cortex remains.The flint is dark brown in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 107, fig.43, No.8 which is dated to the Neolithic.
