Description: | The dorsal face of this piece, which resembles an orange segment, has three flake removals. Two, near the cortex are flat and the other, at a semi-abrupt angle, is towards a sharp margin. The ventral face ha sa bulbal scar and the central aprt of its rights margin has abraded, semi-abrupt, parallel retouch up to a small point, which borders a shallow notch, pressured from the ventral face. Like many of the flints we have encountered from this area, this piece seems to have a dual function.It is made from a clerical grey flint. It was probably derived from a local beach pebble by the look of its secondary cortex.Butler (2004) has a similar piece on Page 169 Fig 71 No 6, which he calls a combination tool.
