Description: | The ventral face has a hinge fracture. The right distal shoulder has semi-abrupt short retouch down to the cream inclusion. The dorsal face has a medial ridge, flattened at the proximal third. there are long flake removals towards the left margin. The right margin, behind the hinge fracture, has two long flake parallel removals down its length from the mid-point to its proximal end. The right dorsal shoulder ha sa notch made from the dorsal face.It is made from a grey flint with mottled spots and a cream inclusion. It was probably derived from a local beach pebble but gives no clues from the tertiary cortex.Butler (2005) has a similar piece illustrated on Page 169 Fig 71 Nos 5,6,7, which he calls a combination tool and dates to the Neolithic period.
