Description: | A thin flake of fine marbled light grey and mid grey flint with cream flecks.The edges are feathered and wavy in a similar way to the dorsal scars of previous removals from the same platform. The proximal end has been truncated straight with semi abrupt retouch to the right as though it has been produced by the micro-burin technique. The sharp left margin has been finely serrated and one of the tiny notches has been repeatedly used with a patch of use gloss developed from it as seen from the ventral side. The right margin has been semi-abruptly retouched; again seen from the ventral side. This side is less sharp and may have been blunted to hold when using the left side. Mercer(1981) illustrates a utilised flake on page 131, fig 57, L110.
