Description: | A triangular section flake of translucent brown and cream flecked pebble flint. Cortex is on the distal end. The flake was hard hammer struck from an abraded platform. The flake scar on the right side is oppsing the main removal and may be from removing pebble cortex before making the core. Both lateral margins are utilised with slight wear on the left with dorsal use gloss. The right has fine semi-abrupt retouch to a hollow scraper.This retouch continues towards the proximal end on the ventral side and the corner has been used as a graver with use gloss developed. Mercer(1981) illustrates an edged flake on page 131, fig 57, L115.
