Description: | Flake or chip with trimmed edge, or slight very shallow retouch on ventral side. It may be that it was being worked up to a point. There is gloss from usewear on the ventral side. Cortex remains on the edge opposite the trimmed/retouched edge and was probably used as a backing when using the the flake.The flint is dark grey in colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 133, Fig 58, No.L124 which is dated to the Neolithic.
