Description: | A truncated flake of chert which has been trimmed or worked along two edges - opposite each other. It has been broken or truncated along the edge opposite the proximal. Some parts of the surface of the flake has a speckled patina, on both the dorsal and ventral sides, with some clear areas. Can be described as an edge trimmed flake.The chert is an orange colour with speckled patina and slightly translucent, and was likely derived from a local beach pebble.Mercer [1981] illustrates a similar example on page 127, fig.55 No.L93 which is dated to the Neolithic.
