Description: | Flint obliquely truncated flake piece or possibly a blade segment, oblong in plan and rod shaped in profile. On the dorsal side the distal end has a snapped hinge fractured edge. The proximal end is cortex. The left margin is denticulated and the right margin serrated. The dorsal surface has an off centre mesial ridge. On the ventral side there is a retouched area on the left margin. There is gloss on the proximal end near the bulb of percussion.The flint is dark grey with light flecks in tone. The secondary cortex is confined to the proximal tip and is beige in colouring.Butler (2005) illustrates a similar example on page 111, Fig. 44, No. 15 which is dated to the Mesolithic period.
