Description: | It is now a flake but originally a blade as there is a break or snap along one edge. Can be described as a truncated flake which has had trim, or light serration, along two edges. There is also an incipient notch, not enought to describe the object as a notched flake. There is a flat edge at the proximal, opposite the snapped edge.The flint is light brown in colour and slightly translucent and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 131, fig.57, No. L115 which is dated to the Neolithic.
