Description: | Flake with serrated edge not sufficiently worked to act as a scraper. The worked edge is opposite the cortex on the dorsal face and this cortex acts as backing for using the tool. Worked edge leads up to a point which could be described as a piercer or borer. This serration is worked on both sides towards the point. The ventral face of the flake is flat.The flint is a mottled light grey colour and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Butler [2005] illustrates a similar example on page 169, fig 71, No.6 which is dated to the later Neolithic.
