Description: | The ventral face has a clear bulb, but the only apparent retouch from this face is at the proximal third of the left margin. The dorsal face reveals abrupt retouch along its left margin after a long flake removal from the distal tip to the proximal end. The distal tip shows abraded retouch down to the central area, below which there is some long flake removal.The piece is made from a dark to light grey flint and is somewhat abraded. It is probably derived from a local beach pebble, by the look of its secondary cortex.Mercer (1981) illustrates a similar piece on Page 131 Fig 57 No L110, which he called an edge trimmed flake and placed in the Neolithic period.
