Description: | A round flake of tan flint with opaque cream inclusions.The distal end is crushed with flakes removed from both sides. and full length bladelets separated from the ventral surface by striking the flake whilst putting it on end on an anvil stone. After use as a core the right ventral edge has been slightly serrated for use as a cutting flake. The original ventral surface has slight cream patination so it may have been harvested in the Later Prehistoric for these uses from a scatter containing the flake. Mercer(1981) illustrates a utilised flake on page 131, fig 57, L110.
