Description: | Flint blade, although technically a flake in its dimensions. It is sub-rectangular in plan (but tapers towards the distal end) and bi-convex in section. The distal end is snapped with a sharp point. On the dorsal face the left margin has a small notch created by retouch, opposite which, on the right edge, is a smaller notch, which may have assisted hafting. The proximal end is snapped (easier to see on the ventral face) and shows damage. The right and left edges are sharp and possibly serrated. The flint is cream-grey and is tertiary because there is no cortex.Mercer (1981) has a similar example, although without notches, on page 129, Figure 56, Number L103.
